This chapter reflects on Steven Hyman's Loebel Lectures, which revolve around a contrast between folk psychology and what neuroscience is starting to reveal. Folk psychology is the unscientific picture of what goes on in people’s minds when they perceive, remember, think, feel, decide, and act. It is based on introspection and on intuitive ‘reading’ of other people. In contrast to folk psychology is the fine structure neuroscience is starting to reveal: the brain mechanisms underlying perception, memory, thought, emotion, decision, and action. Hyman says that mapping out this fine structure has the promise of changing the understanding and treatment of psychiatric disorders. Out of this emerges Hyman’s philosophical claim that neuroscience radically challenges the status of folk psychology. Folk psychology, being in conflict with neuroscience, is largely false.

Because of its comparative structural simplicity insect central nervous system has been frequently used for basic neurological studies. However, relatively little is known regarding the cytological organization of the different neuronal types, especially at the fine structural level. The precise localization and identification of particular cell types within the brain would be useful in correlating structural characteristics of neurons with their integrative functional role. The present study reports the fine structure of three different types of nerve cells within the anterior protocerebral region of the brain of the adult male house fly, Musca domestica.Type I Neuron (Figure 1): Examination of the anterior lateral region of the protocerebrum reveals a small population of uni-polar neurons further characterized by perikarya with a paucity of cytoplasm and proportionately large dense nuclei. The cytoplasm contains poorly developed endoplasmic reticulum, an abundance of ribosomes and a few ovoid to rounded mitochondria with shelf-like cristae. Small Golgi regions and dense inclusion bodies are seen in certain planes of section.
