True, but I would give credit to Freud for studying his subject before
pontificating about it ;)
In a sense the development from Freud to brain studies is probably similar to
the development of any scientific discipline, starting out relatively general
and getting more and more particular as he went on.
Bur I think I see your point in reference to Matt's posts...
