Psychology departments are being affected by neuroscience

From today’s Chronicle of Higher Education on-line: psychology departments are morphing as a result of the growth of neuroscience.

Money quote:

A generation ago, most research psychologists worked in small teams and with small budgets. Today, large psychology departments typically include big laboratories. The neuroscientists there work and publish in teams with as many as eight members, and their equipment costs can run into the millions. Down the hall, their more traditionally oriented colleagues continue to work in smaller teams, with much smaller budgets, and sometimes at slower paces.
