A call for more clarity around causality in neuroscience by Barack, David L., Miller, Earl K., Moore, Christopher I., Packer, Adam M., Pessoa, Luiz, Ross, Lauren N., Rust, Nicole C.

“…In neuroscience, the term ‘causality’ is used to refer to different concepts, leading to confusion. Here we illustrate some of those variations, and we suggest…”
