In their introduction to The Neuroscientific Turn, Melissa Littlefield and Jenell Johnson (2012, 9) note that, beyond the differences among the neurodisciplines that make up the “turn,” the neuro “signifies a hypothetical location (i.e., the nervous system, brain, neuron) where we should look for answers to our deepest questions about consciousness, learning, selfhood, and so forth.”
