Brain research and human diversities

Abstract:
Brain research, and neuroscience in general, seems to meet cultural needs rather than therapeutic necessities. There is no evidence indeed that recent findings--even if they are important--will have therapeutic application in the short run. Although indirect and direct costs of neurological and psychiatric diseases are outrageous, clinical research in these fields is not at all encouraged. Research in neuroscience seems above all interested in challenging some cultural paradigm. Likewise another great and similar venture, the Human Genome (HUGO) Project, also brain research seems to be a scientific enterprise which primarily aims at grounding human diversities on biological diversities. Yet can biology ever substitute the multiculturalist dream?
