What a Bird’s-Eye View of Half a Million Papers Reveals About Neuroscience
Researchers led by Mario Senden used AI‑driven text embeddings to analyze nearly half a million neuroscience abstracts from 1999‑2023, revealing 175 distinct research clusters. The analysis shows strong integration, with hubs such as resting‑state fMRI dynamics and hippocampal plasticity linking many subfields. However, microscale and macroscale communities operate in separate epistemic worlds, and none of the clusters coalesce around a common theoretical framework. The findings suggest a thriving yet theoretically fragmented discipline.
