Beyond phrenology, at last.
Although integration is a widely acknowledged goal in neuroscience, our approach to the function of biological entities often places boundaries that defy integration. Mapping across systems - from the genome to cognitive function - will require innovative methods that can identify every contributing component to a function, and instantaneously scale numerous changes in large data sets to consequences over the entire biological hierarchy.
