EXCERPT:
In all this complexity of questions and approaches, which just reflects the
intricacy, both at structural and functional levels, of the object of
study, there is a significant potential danger of blowing the field of
Neurosciences to smithereens, and not being able to see the wood for the
trees.  Almost 30 years ago Garfield (2) was proposing that reviewing
activity should be seen as an alternative, serious scientific profession.
In contemporary science we need  probably, more than ever, integration and
synthesis of the successive waves of experimental evidence.
