I did not understand him to be equating Freudian therapy with modern neuroscience; I thought, rather, that he took his own distaste for what he sees as certain mystifications in the former as a point de départ for reflections on a deterministic and mechanistic philosophy he finds even more distasteful.

Compared with organicistic and mechanistic metaphors, the root metaphor of artistic process is difficult to understand.

But anyhow, at least with Hobbes and Locke, the mechanistic aspects were understood to be part of a larger political concern, so that these attempts were almost — or arguably even were — a form of political science.

Sweeney found that the mechanistic answers that Pinker offered about the mind — the brain - based mechanisms of thought and consciousness being discovered by modern neuroscience — inspired her to replace her Catholic faith with science's empirical skepticism, which she finds, after many hilarious detours, «a much more powerful and reliable tool for understanding the world.»

Hypothesis driven approaches to vaccinology can utilise the knowledge gained from mechanistic mouse models and our molecular understanding of intrinsic defects to human cells.5 However, caution is required when extrapolating data from murine models, as there are substantial differences between immune ageing in mice and humans.6 Nevertheless, model systems and ex vivo analyses of molecular alterations in aged human cells have identified multiple changes in the vaccination response with age and the aged immune system in general.

A key to a mechanistic understanding is the ability to observe membrane organization with a spatial resolution on the molecular level, a temporal resolution in the micro-second range and sensitivity down to the single molecule without disturbing the system (noninvasive).

Dr. Cole's project, «Mechanistic Derivation of Germ Line Mutation by Genome - Wide Mouse Tetrad Analysis,» will help define the global patterns of de novo germ line mutations and the frequencies at which such mutations occur in mice, with the long term goal of understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying germ line mutagenesis and developing strategies to prevent or treat disorders caused by such mutations.
