Abstract

There is more to theory in biology than replicating the results of experiments - the best theory papers help experimentalists to identify which of their results might be general and to plan a path through the maze of all possible future experiments.

Keywords: Living Science; mathematical modeling; neuroscience; peer review; theory.
