Abstract

Abstract. Do neurobiologists aim to discover natural kinds? I address this
question in this chapter via a critical analysis of classification practices
operative across the 43-year history of research on long-term potentiation
(LTP). I suggest that this 43- year history supports the idea that the
structure of scientific practice surrounding LTP research has remained an
obstacle to the discovery of natural kinds.
