Behavioral Neurology

This ground-breaking book has been in print since 1974. Earlier editions of the book were seminal in delineating brain-behavior relationships; the current edition expands this theme using the most recent data from the neurosciences and molecular biology. Earlier editions focused on the behavioral aspects of neurological conditions and the neurological aspects of psychiatric disorders. While this is still the focus of the book it has become clear from many research studies that the environmental events and emotions can alter brain structure , thus finally bringing a scientific basis to psychological events. We have also added a valuable clinical chapter on differentiating the etiologies of disturbed behavior. This comprehensive text by two authors avoids the deluge of facts and duplicationof material often found in multi-authored texts to leave the leader with a consistent approach to understanding and diagnosing disturbances of behavior. While the book is directed towards
medical students, residents, psychiatrists and neurologists it has been widely used by many varied health professionals, pyschologists ,and lawyers.

Como profesional, sé que existe en Neurología Clínica y seguramente en toda la medicina -pero la masificación actual y la "Medicina Basada en la Evidencia" no nos dejan ver el bosque- un espacio entre Neurología, Psiquiatría y algo que no sabemos qué. Por qué a una gente le duele la cabez tanto, por qué otros se desmayan sin queelo obedezca a las causas comunes, aun las más peligrosas... Y aquí aparecen teorías sobre esta "Neurología comportamental". No se ha podido establecer científicamente si es cierto todo lo que aventuran los autores, pero es plausible y es posible, y además, hemos de trabajar así porque la medicina no es una ciencia, sino una práctica empíricaa al final. La Fisiología Humana es otra cosa, pero no lo explica todo porque no lo sabemos todo.
Al fin y al cabo, no creo en el funcionamiento de la acupuntura, pongamos por caso. pero he visto pacientes que se han curado así, y eso no puede negarse.
