Joy, Sorrow, and the Feeling Brain
The claim that science cannot comprehend the complexities of the intellectual or the emotional sides of human life is belied by the development of neuroscience in particular during the most recent decades. Though much of the published research is highly specialized, a number of new works are aimed at the general public. Of these, a particularly noteworthy book, which directly refutes much of Wieseltier’s argument, is Antonio Damasio’s Looking for Spinoza: Joy, Sorrow, and the Feeling Brain. Though Damasio concentrates on the emotional side of the human brain, much of his argument can also be adapted to mental processes that we take to be largely intellectual. Damasio is the head of the neurology department at the University of Iowa Medical Center.

Opening minds by writing blogs
With a focus on neuroscience research, Wang's blog is fairly specialized and technical, but still attracts a solid audience from various research institutions. Entries are short and precise, linking to research findings or commenting on science-related news.

Neuroscientist on Intelligent Design
Charles Weaver, a professor of psychology and neuroscience said there's nothing wrong with teaching intelligent design, but that it shouldn't be taught as a science.

"It's certainly a viable idea. It's just not one that ought to be considered science. It has no role in the science curriculum. If people want to teach it as philosophy or theology - certainly," Weaver said.
