Neuroscience has a long history of investigating the neural correlates of brain functions. One example is fear, which has been studied intensely in a variety of species. In parallel, unease about definitions of brain functions has existed for over 100 years.

Great short piece about "brain functions" by @NicoleCRust and @theamygdaloid "The challenge being faced is not how to get rid of folk psychology concepts but to set ground rules for when folk psychological explanations are useful and when they are not."
