Decomposing dendrophilia. Comment on "Toward a computational framework for cognitive biology: unifying approaches from cognitive neuroscience and comparative cognition" by W. Tecumseh Fitch.

The future of cognitive science will be about bridging neuroscience and behavioral studies, with essential roles played by comparative biology, formal modeling, and the theory of computation. Nowhere will this integration be more strongly needed than in understanding the biological basis of language and music. We thus strongly sympa-thize with the general framework that Fitch [1] proposes, and welcome the remarkably broad and readable review he presents to support it.
