A classic case of reductionism is the non-ironic use of "neuro/biologically plausible" when discussing models that capture/are for phenomena that occur at higher levels. This is dangerous because "neuro/bio plausible" has a meaning, but at higher levels it's lost/incoherent.

Bridging levels, correctly percolating relevant information downwards or upwards within a system using levels of analysis, is important. Cognitive computational neuroscience modelling can only be useful if we understand levels/layers of abstraction. Otherwise what is modelled?

I actually named my blog http://neuroplausible.com after this weasel word/phrase because I find the ironic use hilarious. Anyway, learn levels, friends. Start from Marr, if easiest/most accessible to you.
