The scientific controversies are key moments in the analysis of the processes of scientific dynamics. In these, two types of values have been clearly identified: the epistemic and the non-epistemic. Among the second ones, we could consider those of moral and religious type. According to the deep results of the recent studies in cognitive processes by fMRI, we can include these values within the group of the epistemic. By means of the study of case of the controversy of the mother cells we will develop this idea.

Keywords : Controversy; Values; Epistemic; Non-epistemic; Mother cells.
