This article is an interview of a neuro-science researcher. It describes how synapses are controlled, but more than that, comments on grants, the influence of journals, and the inappropriate directions research may be forced to travel are covered. I may be an old fart, but the old ways I remember were much more to the point of an independent approach to progress. Down with peer review!

Heh.

My old psych prof flatly stated that because of ethics boards, no major advance has happened in human psychology since the 1960's.
