HIGHLIGHTS

SUMMARY

    There is extensive debate on reductionism in the philosophy of science (Van Riel and Van Gulick, 2019), and in psychology and neuroscience (Selverston, 1980; Barlow, 1990; Gold and Stoljar, 1999; Endicott, 2001; Bickle, 2003; Bechtel, 2007; Craver, 2007; Parker, 2010; Krakauer et_al, 2017). Degeneracy (i.e., different components can perform the same function; Tononi et_al, 1999) or compensatory plasticity that can rapidly adapt to a perturbation to maintain function (Davis and Bezprozvanny, 2001; Frank et_al, 2006) could allow x2 to substitute for x1, making x1 sufficient but not necessary for evoking y (b).
