But it is important to note, once again, that correlation does not imply causation -- no matter how fancy a scientific tool you are using, either fMRI or genetics.

The best data Kandel cites in support of his argument is the improved treatment outcomes that could be "predicted" due to genetics. However, it would not be too surprising if some behavioral or cognitive measure did just as well at predicting the improved outcome.
