We are at the midpoint in the "Decade of the Brain." Why do we know
so much and yet understand so little about the brain? The field of
neuroscience has exploded, and anyone who attends one of the large
meetings has the impression of drinking from a fire hydran- as so
aptly put by the late neuroanatomist Walle J. H. Nauta. Part of
that feeling is a general-information problem, experienced in other
fields of scienc as well. In brain research, however, the problem
is accentuated by the rapid advances of molecular and cellular
brain research. The dynamics created by these lines of research
have multiplied published output, but have inevitably entailed a
compartmentalization of scientific interests and research
strategies. If the cost of gaining knowledge is a shrinking horizon
of the individual scientist, neuroscience must develop strategies
for organizing the acquisition of knowledge. Some of this guidance
is given by the society -by medical and, perhaps, commercial needs.
But who provides the backbone for establishing a generally accepted
"schema" for basic brain research -a frame of reference onto which
the millions of information fragments can be fitted, in a way
acceptable to a multicultural and polymethodical neuroscience
community? We believe that developmental and evolutionary biology
has the potential to provide a commonly accepted frame of reference
for that multilevel system approach needed to understand the
workings of the brain.
