Neuroscientific evidence shows that synaptic weights and dendritic potentials—paradigmatically cognitive elements—lack intrinsic representational content and acquire it only through their causal-systemic relations.

Neuroscientific evidence(as used in cognitive science and philosophy of mind)
Information gathered from studying how the brain works, using tools like brain imaging or experiments that measure brain activity.
Synaptic weights(how a theory-of-the-world is physically stored in the brain)
The strength of connections between neurons in your brain; stronger connections mean signals pass more easily, like well-worn paths being easier to walk than new ones.
