A careful, philosophically nuanced reading of late nineteenth century neuropsychological writings shows that, far from being hard-nosed materialists, most of Freud’s intellectual community were dualists. And a careful reading of Freud’s early neuroscientific works shows that Freud fell in with this orthodox position.

The writings of the important British neuroscientist John Hughlings Jackson—who was a major influence on Freud—are instructive. Like most scientists of his generation, Jackson was philosophically educated (sadly, that’s no longer the case for most scientists), and was alert to the philosophical implications of scientific discoveries. He recognized that Descartes version of dualism was inconsistent with the Law of the Conservation of Energy in physics—the principle that the quantity of energy in the universe remains constant—and therefore that Descartes’ theory had to be rejected. But like many other scientists of the day, he simply traded it in for a different version of substance dualism. Jackson opted for the theory known as “psychophysical parallelism”—the thesis, derived from the seventeenth century philosopher Gottfried Leibniz. It’s the weird idea that physical brains and non-physical minds don’t interact but merely run in parallel, precisely coordinated like two synchronized clocks. Jackson and others resorted to notions like this because the materialist alternative was just too challenging to seriously entertain.

There was another part of Descartes’ legacy that was giving the neuroscientists and psychologists trouble during this period: the idea that the human mind is transparent to itself. This is basically the notion that the human mind is all conscious, and therefore that we can investigate human psychology by introspection. If true, this would place psychology in a category that’s different from all the other sciences. Generally, in science, one tries to draw conclusions that are objectively true. This is only possible if there is intersubjective agreement—which is a fancy way of saying that the thing that’s being observed can be accessed by more than one person. For example, if I’m performing a chemical experiment, other people can repeat and observe what’s being done and what the result of the experiment is. They can validate my observations or hold my feet to the fire by challenging what I claim to have observed. But all of that seems impossible for a subjective method like introspection. And this raises questions about whether it’s even possible to have a science of psychology.

During the nineteenth century, evidence was piling up that the idea that human minds are transparent to themselves was just wrong. Methods of experimental psychology that relied on exposing subjects to stimuli and then having report on their experiences produced wildly inconsistent results, and observations of mental illness and the effects of brain damage demonstrated quite clearly that we don’t have access to a lot of what’s going on inside our own minds. Finally, studies of hypnotic suggestion demonstrated that our behavior can be powerfully influenced by ideas of which we are completely unaware.

Still, the idea that all cognition is conscious was hard for scientists to let go of. To do so required a paradigm-shift of major proportions. In his early years as a neuroscientist, Freud fell in with the conventional view. He believed that mind and brain were two distinct things and that all mental processes are conscious. This all changed in 1895, when he jettisoned the whole Cartesian package and moved to the view that all mental processes are processes in the brain, that all cognitive processes take place outside of consciousness, and that introspection does not give us access to what’s going on in our own minds. This was an extraordinarily radical move, and it coincided with the birth of psychoanalysis.

Neuropsicología clínica: definición, qué estudia y objetivos

**De entre las neurociencias más conocidas se encuentra la neuropsicología clínica**, la cual es, fundamentalmente, la disciplina encargada de entender el funcionamiento del sistema nervioso y cómo su afectación, especialmente a nivel cerebral, implica sintomatología. Esta rama del saber es relativamente nueva, aunque en los dos últimos siglos ha contribuido sobremanera a conocer cómo funciona nuestro cerebro, en especial cuando éste se encuentra afectado por algún tipo de lesión u otro problema. Conozcamos con mayor profundidad la neuropsicología clínica y de qué se ocupa. * Artículo relacionado: "[Neuropsicología: ¿qué es y cuál es su objeto de estudio?](/neurociencias/neuropsicologia)" ## ¿Qué es la neuropsicología clínica? La neuropsicología clínica es una **rama de la psicología la cual se encarga de estudiar las relaciones entre el cerebro y el comportamiento en el contexto clínico, de los trastornos**. En base a este conocimiento, los profesionales de esta disciplina, que son los neuropsicólogos clínicos, son capaces de definir un diagnóstico a partir de lo observado en el paciente, además de establecer un tratamiento para mejorar su nivel de vida. La neuropsicología clínica es una rama psicológica que **requiere un alto grado de especialización de quien se dedica a ella**. Los neuropsicólogos clínicos poseen un profundo conocimiento sobre el cerebro y sus funciones, además de tener la capacidad de relacionar los síntomas que manifiesta el paciente con la afectación de una u otra área de su cerebro. De esta forma, quienes se especializan en este área del saber saben cuales son las causas y consecuencias de una neuropatología manifestada en el paciente. Aunque habitualmente los pacientes que acuden a este tipo de profesionales sufren de alguna lesión cerebral causada por algún tipo de impacto o enfermedad que daña las células nerviosas, también los hay quienes acuden debido a algún tipo de infección, tumor u otra condición médica que implica sintomatología psicológica y alteración en sus capacidades cognitivas, emociones y conducta en general. Se trata de una rama muy científica, la cual ha ido elaborando su corpus teórico y práctico mediante la investigación empírica y basada en la evidencia, además de hacer uso de **herramientas fiables como la neuroimagen, las baterías de cuestionarios y métodos diagnósticos propios de la medicina**. La neuropsicología combina conocimientos procedentes de la neuroanatomía, neurobiología, neuropatología y psicofarmacología. ## ¿Cuáles son sus ámbitos de investigación e intervención? Lo que distingue a un neuropsicólogo clínico de un psicólogo clínico es el grado de conocimiento sobre el cerebro que posee, además de las alteraciones cerebrales y cómo se manifiestan en la persona en forma de psicopatología. **En neuropsicología es fundamental el conocimiento y saber cómo utilizar varios cuestionarios**, como el test de Stroop, el MMPI y WAIS entre otros. Así, mediante su interpretación, el neuropsicólogo puede conocer cuál es el grado de afectación cognitiva del paciente, viendo sus déficits en el aprendizaje, la memoria, la atención, la lectoescritura, la resolución de problemas y la toma de decisiones. **Los pacientes que acuden a este tipo de profesionales pueden sufrir todo tipo de problemas a nivel encefálico**, siendo objeto de estudio e intervención los síntomas a causa de traumatismos craneoencefálicos, accidentes cerebrovasculares, turmores cerebrales, epilepsia, demencias, trastorno mental grave, problemas del desarrollo, autismo… Debido a esto, la neuropsicología clínica está presente en lugares como hospitales, especialmente en el área de neurología y rehabilitación, además de psiquiatría. * Quizás te interese: "[Diferencias entre la neuropsicología y la neurología](/neurociencias/diferencias-neuropsicologia-neurologia)" ## Antecedentes históricos Aunque el término "neuropsicología clínica" fue acuñado por primera vez en 1913 por Sir William Osler, lo cierto es que se podría decir que sus antecedentes son muy anteriores al siglo XX. Si bien definirla como parte de esta disciplina sería, quizás, un error, lo cierto es que las primitivas trepanaciones, realizadas durante el período neolítico se podrían considerar como las primeras técnicas remotamente relacionadas con la neuropsicología clínica. Se ha supuesto que estas prácticas, las cuales consistían en abrir un orificio en el cráneo de una persona, tenían como objetivo el de hacer que los ‘malos espíritus’, causantes de la conducta atípica de la persona afectada, abandonaran su cabeza. Así pues, podría decirse que esta práctica se fundamentaba en **la creencia de que la psicopatología tenía una base cerebral** y que se podía hacerle frente mediante una intervención quirúrgica en el encéfalo. Sin embargo, las raíces más claras y sólidas de la moderna neuropsicología clínica se pueden encontrar a partir del siglo XIX, en el que no eran pocos los médicos europeos que defendían que debía haber **una relación entre el cerebro disfuncional y los síndromes** que manifestaban sus pacientes. Muchos fueron los grandes personajes de ese siglo y del siguiente que contribuyeron en el desarrollo de esta ciencia. **John Hughlings Jackson fue el primero en hipotetizar que los procesos cognitivos tienen lugar en partes del cerebro** y esto fue confirmado mediante los hallazgos de Paul Broca y Karl Wernicke mediante sus hallazgos en problemas del lenguaje y zonas cerebrales afectadas. Otros, más desde la vertiente de la estadística y la metodología, como [Francis Galton](/biografias/francis-galton) y Karl Pearson, ayudaron al asentamiento de la investigación en psicología tal y como la conocemos hoy en día y, por tanto, también de la neuropsicología. En cuanto a las herramientas que usan los neuropsicólogos, no debería omitirse la importante tarea de [Alfred Binet](/biografias/alfred-binet) y Theodore Simon quienes conjuntamente elaboraron la escala de inteligencia Binet-Simon, sentando el precedente para la creación de las baterías de evaluación cognitiva. Sin embargo, al igual que ha sucedido con la medicina y la farmacología, son las desgracias las que han hecho avanzar la neuropsicología clínica. El estallido de la Primera y Segunda Guerra Mundiales, además de las guerras de Corea y Vietnam, provocaron **miles de soldados malheridos, muchos de ellos con afectación cerebral debida a trauma físico, disparo o hemorragia**. En base a sus síntomas y la zona de la lesión, se pudo obtener una amplia información sobre qué áreas del cerebro se encargan de determinadas funciones. ## Objetivos Fundamentalmente, la tarea del neuropsicólogo clínico se puede resumir en cuatro objetivos principales. ### 1. Diagnóstico Mediante el uso de baterías de cuestionarios, observación de conductas patológicas y uso de técnicas de neuroimagen, **el neuropsicólogo puede establecer un diagnóstico para el paciente**. Así, es posible conocer si la conducta atípica de la persona se debe a una verdadera lesión, un tumor cerebral o hemorragia o, por el contrario, la causa es más bien psiquiátrica. También, en base del tipo de conducta que manifieste el paciente, es posible suponer, tanto con como sin el uso de neuroimagen, en qué zona del cerebro se ha producido el daño. En esta fase, **se evalúan aspectos variados como las capacidades cognitivas del afectado**, además de su capacidad de reacción ante estímulos del medio. * Quizás te interese: "[Tipos de test psicológicos: sus funciones y características](/psicologia/tipos-test-psicologicos)" ### 2. Cuidado del paciente Una vez establecido el diagnóstico, se hace necesario **ver la mejor manera de cuidar a paciente para evitar que sus capacidades se vean perjudicadas**. El cuidado del paciente no únicamente implica a los profesionales, sino también se debe conseguir educar al entorno de la persona afectada para que sea una fuente de apoyo en su recuperación La relativa sensibilidad de los cuestionarios utilizados en este ámbito y su demostrada precisión permiten **determinar cuáles son los cuidados que precisa el paciente y evitar su deterioro**, o al menos atrasarlo. Dependiendo de la gravedad del paciente, será necesaria la realización de un seguimiento y la administración de varias pruebas a lo largo del tiempo, con la intención de observar cómo va evolucionando. ### 3. Tratamiento La principal opción de tratamiento para pacientes que han sufrido alguna lesión neurológica es, básicamente, **la rehabilitación y recuperación, en la medida de lo que se pueda, de los déficits cognitivos**. Si es posible y la intervención implica más beneficios que riesgos, la cirugía, llevada a cabo por un neurocirujano, puede ser otra opción. No obstante, **lo normal es optar por técnicas no tan invasivas**, estableciendo un plan de tratamiento para conseguir un incremento en su desempeño diario y fomentar un incremento de su bienestar. ### 4. Investigación La neuropsicología clínica no únicamente se dedica a diagnosticar y tratar pacientes. También, como parte de la ciencia que es, pretende expandir sus conocimientos mediante la investigación científica. **De esta forma logra mejorar su tratamiento y capacidad diagnóstica**, elaborándose nuevos cuestionarios y técnicas que permitan la mejora de las capacidades afectadas en los pacientes. Dado que el cerebro es quizás el órgano más misterioso de todo el cuerpo humano, constantemente se profundiza más en su funcionamiento y en el establecimiento de las áreas que están detrás de sintomatología concreta. #### Referencias bibliográficas: * Antonio, P.

NEUROPLASTICITY TIMELINE.

The Neuroplasticity Timeline - Rainbow Rehabilitation Centers The Neuroplasticity Timeline – Localism, Holism and a Truth Somewhere in Between By Heidi Reyst, Ph.D., CBIST Rainbow Rehabilitation Centers For nearly a century there has been evidence that the brain is far more capable of change than has been given credit. Conventional science has largely ignored this data in favor of the Doctrine of Localization whereby one discrete location of the brain accounts for one specific function, and if injury occurs to that location, that function is thereby lost. Research has now overwhelmingly shown that our brains are “plastic” meaning our cortex is dynamic and can yield to behavioral experience. For well over a century, however, conventional neuroscience has largely stuck with the principles of the Doctrine of Localization, and notwithstanding a few scientists, has essentially ignored any and all discoveries that fostered the idea that our brains are capable of rewiring, reorganizing and otherwise relearning after injury. There were numerous opportunities for conventional science to embrace the principles of neuroplasticity, but as the following timeline demonstrates, many of those opportunities were missed or ultimately ignored. In the late 1700s to early 1800s a debate raged among scientists of the time as to whether brain areas have independent, specific functions (termed localism), or whether the whole brain worked in aggregate to produce function (holism).For the players in this debate, these two concepts were diametrically opposed—the brain either operated in a localized or holistic manner. And, for quite some time, it seemed the newest theory, experimental evidence, or opportune patient provided the current frontrunner in this tense and deeply passionate intellectual debate. c. 1800 One of the main proponents of localism was Joseph Gall the founder of phrenology (which he termed organology), along with his student Johann Spurzheim. The basis of phrenology was that the brain was divided into 27 faculties ranging from pride to the sense of colors, to verbal memory to morality. Gall and Spurzheim thought that by analyzing the form, features and measurements of individuals’ skulls they could estimate the size of different brain areas which they would then use to make assertions about the development of their faculties. Gall, in particular, noted that he observed correlations between psychological tendencies and skull shapes. Phrenology, while lacking basic scientific rigor, was the first venture into the idea that one area of the brain was responsible for a specific faculty or in modern terms, function. c. 1820 Many at the time viewed localism as naive, probably due in part to the lack of scientific rigor of phrenology, and so the only alternative to localism was holism. On the holistic side of the debate, was Marie Jean Pierre Flourens. He was appointed by Napoleon Bonaparte to address the lack of rigor and put the issue to rest. So in the 1820s, he began a series of experiments on pigeons and rabbits. In his experiments, he removed different areas of the brain to see how it affected their behavior. He found that removal of the cerebellum resulted in dis-coordination of muscles, removal of the frontal lobe resulted in problems with judgment and perception, and that removal of the medulla resulted in death (www.britannica. com). As a result of this work, Flourens’ conclusion was that the cerebral hemispheres were “responsible for higher psychic and intellectual capabilities” (www.britannica.com), though he recognized that certain functions were located in certain parts of the brain. Moreover, through the removal of large sections of the cerebral lobes, without any resulting loss of function, he concluded that the brain itself acts as a “functional entity” (Yildirim and Sarikcioglu, 2007). Flourens understanding of the brain as a functional entity was that “the cerebral lobes operate in unison for the full exercise of their functions…the cerebral cortex functioned as an indivisible whole” (cited in Pearce, 2009). It was Flourens’ pioneering research that ultimately discounted phrenology and put the ideas of Holism at the forefront of the debate. 1861 It was in 1861, however, that the debate took a persistent turn towards localism. Physician Pierre Paul Broca, through his research, was able to tie speech deficits resulting from brain injuries to specific areas of the brain. In particular, he found that patients with lesions in the left frontal lobe had characteristic impairments of speech output, known today as expressive aphasia. Thus, he demonstrated that once an area responsible for a function was damaged by a lesion, the function was thus lost. Since CT or MRI were not available tools to detect lesions within individuals who were living, Broca and those studying the brain at this time had only autopsy available to determine that a specific area of the brain was in fact damaged (in this case the left inferior frontal lobe, now known as Broca’s area). 1868 On the heels of Broca’s assertion that “one speaks with the left hemisphere”, Jules Cotard in studying children with significant brain disease that affected the left hemisphere including the frontal lobe area (either congenital or acquired very early on) did not display aphasia as would be expected (Doidge, 2007). His claim was that if at an early age, lesions to Broca’s area did not result in impairment, but did so at later ages, that another area of the brain must then take over function. This was the first time that a neuroscientist speculated that when one area of the brain is injured other areas of the brain may take over for the functions that area previously provided. 1870 German scientists Gustav Fritsch and Eduard Hitzig were the first to provide experimental evidence for cerebral localization, by showing that electrical stimulation of the cortex of un-anaesthetized dogs resulted in movement. More specifically, they found that specific areas of the brain were organized topographically (mapping of the surface area) within the cerebral cortex, and that stimulation of certain cortical areas corresponded to movement of specific body parts. In essence, they were able to identify what is now well understood to be the motor cortex of the frontal lobe. 1874 Thirteen years after Paul Broca found that lesions of the left side of the frontal cortex resulted in speech impairments, Carl Wernicke noted that left-sided temporal lobe lesions resulted in impairments in language comprehension, or the ability to understand language (Doidge, 2007). This, of course, is now known as Wernicke’s area. The mapping of the brain thus became the hallmark of localism. Norman Doidge (2007) in describing the stronghold of localization at that time noted, “unfortunately, though, the case for localization was soon exaggerated. It went from being a series of intriguing correlations (observations that damage to specific brain areas led to the loss of specific mental functions) to a general theory that declared that every brain function had only one hardwired location—an idea summarized by the phrase ‘one function, one location,’ meaning that if a part was damaged, the brain could not reorganize itself or recover that lost function”. 1876 Otto Soltmann took Fritsch’s and Hitzig’s research further, by examining the differences in age-related response to brain damage. Specifically, he started looking at the motor cortex areas in very young puppies and found that stimulation of the motor areas did not induce front paw movements until 10 days of age (Finger, Beyer and Koehler, 2000). He also found that as the animals aged, the part of the motor cortex that controlled the movement grew larger, and then settled to its final size in adulthood. In subsequent research, Soltmann looked at the motor cortex after injury throughout the age range of dogs (Finger, Beyer and Koehler, 2000). He found that for puppies too young for motor stimulation to result in movement, lesions of the motor areas did not result in noticeable functional problems. Older dogs subjected to the same lesion, however, did experience the anticipated impairments. This was the first experimental evidence that showed other areas of the motor cortex may well have taken over for the damaged area—an idea termed vicariation. By the time of Soltmann’s work, localism had taken hold, in the strict sense of the definition of the time, in that one area, one function meant permanent loss of function. Henceforth, any work contrary to the ideals of localism was ignored, including that of Otto Soltmann. c. 1884 John Hughlings-Jackson, a pioneer of neurology in Britain in the mid to late 1800s, laid the groundwork for future theories on brain organization, much of which is the basis of modern neurology. Hughlings-Jackson, based on his research into seizures, further supported the idea of a somatotopic representation of the brain (i.e., that there is an orderly and specific relation between a particular body part and its representation in the brain). One of the enduring theories laid down by Hughlings-Jackson was that the mind is based on physical representations within the brain and not metaphysical action (i.e., supernatural, godly). York and Steinberg (2011) noted that he believed that: …the nervous system is a purely physical mechanism. This neurological idea forms the basis of clinical neurophysiology. The ostensibly atheistic principle that the nervous system is exclusively sensorimotor excludes any reference to metaphysical objects or actions, and forms the basis of modern physiology. It was a brave assertion in Victorian London, in that Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection evoked the ire of the Bishop of Oxford (p. 3108). Hughlings-Jackson also theorized that the human nervous system evolved “with increasingly higher levels of re-representation of basic sensorimotor representations” and that “sensory impressions and representations of bodily movements are embedded in more complex structures and processes” (Franz and Gillette, 2011, p. 3115). His formative ideas clearly exceeded the bounds of strict localism, and presented a holistic framework such that “sensorimotor processes become embedded in a network of connections that relate them in successively more complex ways to allow for performance of more and more nuanced and adaptive functions (Franz and Gillette, 2011). 1890 Soon after Hughlings-Jackson’s work was laid out, psychologist William James first used the term plasticity in relation to the idea that the brain is not a fixed entity, but rather one that has the capacity to change itself. It was evident that James was influenced by Hughlings-Jackson, as he wrote about his views related to the brain and mind being from sensorimotor elements. In The Principles of Psychology, he wrote that plasticity “means the possession of a structure weak enough to yield to influence, but strong enough not to yield all at once… organic matter, especially nervous tissue, seems endowed with a very extraordinary degree of plasticity of this sort” (cited in Pascual-Leone, Amedi, Fregni & Merabet 2005). Thus both Hughlings-Jackson and James, as early as the late 19th century, conceptualized the brain as a dynamic structure, capable of change. Yet, it would be nearly a century after their seminal writings before plasticity, in lieu of localization, would be widely recognized. 1906 Figure 1. Brodmann’s Areas—lateral view of the left hemisphere. Santiago Ramon y Cajal was a leading neuroanatomist in the early 1900s (and Nobel Laureate in 1906), and was a proponent of the idea that the brain was incapable of change once development was complete (Stein, 2012). In particular, Cajal viewed the brain as a “predictable circuit and not as a diffuse network with unpredictable results” (Venkataramani, 2010). His views helped to solidify localism at the time, yet his impact and his ideas were far reaching well into today, and set the stage in many respects for our modern day understanding of neuroplasticity. While Cajal was working to define the neurobiology of the brain, at nearly that same time, German anatomist Karbinian Brodmann was defining the cerebral cortex into 52 regions based on their histological characteristics. He published his work on cytoarchitecture in 1909, and his work is still often cited as many of the areas he identified correlate to key cortical functions (see Figure 1). For example, Area 4 relates to the primary motor cortex, Areas 41 and 42 encapsulate the auditory cortex, and Areas 3, 1 & 2 are the primary sensory cortex. As the remainder of the 20th century marched along, the Doctrine was well established in the psyche of most neuroscientists of the time. There were, however, others who found evidence contrary to the Doctrine, many of whom had their work discredited or discounted. As Donald Stein (2012) noted: “During the first half of the 20th century, some neuroanatomists who observed structural changes in the injured adult brain—now considered characteristic of neuronal repair, such as axonal or dendritic sprouting, or even neurogenesis—often reported such changes as artifacts of histological techniques rather than as evidence of CNS structural plasticity” (p. 162). This unfortunate set of events, however, did not dissuade all practitioners of neuroscience. And for those who marched forward, the fruit of their labor was that in the end, the idea that the brain was capable of significant change was genuine. 1949 One such practitioner was Donald Hebb who proposed that neurons adapt during the learning process. So if neuron A, fires, which connects to neuron B, causing it to fire, and this is done repeatedly, chemical changes alter the connection between A and B strengthening both. The result of this strengthened connection is ultimately the process of learning. This is now called Hebbian Theory, and has been informally christened as “Neurons that Fire Together, Wire Together.” Hebbian theory laid the groundwork for modern day forays into neuroplasticity, primarily because the theory provides that the structure of neurons can be altered by behavioral experience (Doidge, 2007). 1960 In the late 1960s Paul Bach y Rita introduced the idea of sensory substitution. In essence, Bach y Rita was the first to take the ideas of neuroplasticity and apply them in a meaningful, functional way for patients. He developed a machine (called the Tactile Vision Substitution System) whereby patients who were blind at birth sat in a chair against a bank of vibrating plates, which was connected to a camera. The camera sent signals to the plates causing them to vibrate in patterns connected to the tonal qualities of the object in the camera. The blind individuals’ brains soon interpreted these signals allowing them to see at a rudimentary level the objects despite their blindness. As a result of their training, they could “discriminate vertical, horizontal, diagonal and curved lines. They then learned to recognize combinations of lines (circles, squares, and triangles) and solid geometric forms. After approximately one hour of such training they are introduced to a ‘vocabulary’ of 25 common objects: a telephone, chair, cup, toy horse and others. With repeated presentations, the latency or time to recognition of these objects fall markedly; in the process, the students discover concepts such as perspective, shadows, shape distortion as a function of viewpoint, and apparent change in size as a function of distance” (Bach y Rita, Collins, Saunders, White and Scadden, 1969, p. 963). This work led Bach y Rita to note that “we see with our brains, not with our eyes.” 1969 Geoffrey Raisman published an article in Brain Research which examined the question of whether the central nervous system is capable of re-organization at the anatomical level (Raisman, 1969). In a rat model, Raisman examined an area of the brain where two distinct afferent pathways (inputs from the body) led to the same cortical structure. He then cut one of the afferent pathways, to determine what, if any, change took place. What he found was that the fibers from the uncut pathway took over vacated synapses from the cut pathway. Raisman noted that the finding of reinnervation to the brain area “implies that the central nervous system can no longer be considered incapable of reconstruction in the face of damage. Anatomically, central synapse are labile, and this plasticity may not be restricted to lesion situations—it may play some part in learning.” Thus, he demonstrated unequivocally that synapses are far more malleable than previously understood. Stein (2012) notes that this finding was one that turned the tide in the 1960s away from the Doctrine of Localization in favor of the idea that the brain can and does change.

Neurology

Neurology (from Greek: νεῦρον, neuron, and the addition — λογία — logia “investigation of”) is a branch of drug managing disarranges of the sensory system. Neurology manages the conclusion and treatment of all classes of conditions and infection including the focal and fringe sensory systems (and their subdivisions, the autonomic and physical sensory systems), including their covers, veins, and all effector tissue, for example, muscle. Neurological practice depends intensely on the field of neuroscience, which is the logical investigation of the sensory system.

A neurologist is a doctor represent considerable authority in neurology and prepared to research, or analyze and treat neurological clutters. Neurologists may likewise be engaged with clinical research, clinical trials, and essential or translational research. While neurology is a nonsurgical claim to fame, its comparing surgical forte is neurosurgery.

Huge cover happens between the fields of neurology and psychiatry, with the limit between the two controls and the conditions they treat being to some degree indistinct.

History

The scholastic teach started between the sixteenth and nineteenth hundreds of years with the work and research of numerous neurologists, for example, Thomas Willis, Robert Whytt, Matthew Baillie, Charles Bell, Moritz Heinrich Romberg, Duchenne de Boulogne, William A. Hammond, Jean-Martin Charcot, and John Hughlings Jackson.

Clean neurologist Edward Flatau enormously impacted the creating field of neurology. He distributed a human mind chart book in 1894 and composed a principal book on headaches in 1912.

Numerous neurologists likewise have extra preparing or enthusiasm for one zone of neurology, for example, stroke, epilepsy, neuromuscular, rest solution, torment administration, or development issue.

In the United States and Canada, neurologists are doctors having finished postgraduate preparing in neurology after graduation from therapeutic school. Neurologists finish, by and large, around 8 years of therapeutic school instruction and clinical training,which incorporates acquiring a four-year college degree, a restorative degree (DO or MD), which involves an extra four years of study, at that point finishing one year of essential clinical preparing and four years of residency. The four-year residency comprises of one year of inward drug temporary position preparing took after by three years of preparing in neurology.

A few neurologists get extra subspecialty preparing concentrating on a specific zone of the field. These preparation programs are called partnerships, and are one to two years in length. Subspecialties incorporate cerebrum damage medication, clinical neurophysiology, epilepsy, hospice and palliative solution, neurodevelopmental incapacities, neuromuscular pharmaceutical, torment prescription, rest drug, neurocritical mind, vascular neurology (stroke), behavioral neurology, tyke neurology, migraine, numerous sclerosis, neuroimaging, neurorehabilitation, and interventional neurology.

In Germany, a mandatory year of psychiatry must be done to finish a residency of neurology.

In the United Kingdom and Ireland, neurology is a subspecialty of general (interior) pharmaceutical. Following five to nine years of therapeutic school and a year as a preregistration house officer (or two years on the Foundation Program), a neurologist must pass the examination for Membership of the Royal College of Physicians (or the Irish identical) before finishing two years of center medicinal preparing and after that entering master preparing in neurology. An age prior, a few neurologists would have likewise spent two or three years working in mental units and get a confirmation in mental solution. In any case, this prerequisite has turned out to be unprecedented, and, now that an essential mental capability takes three years to acquire, the necessity is not any more reasonable. A time of research is basic, and acquiring a higher degree helps profession movement. Numerous discovered it was facilitated after a connection to the Institute of Neurology at Queen Square, London. A few neurologists enter the field of restoration medication (known as physiatry in the US) to represent considerable authority in neurological recovery, which may incorporate stroke prescription, and in addition cerebrum wounds.

Doctor

Dr. Rajeev Goyal, a keen medical enthusiast, started his medical career in 1996 and completed in 2012. His key area of interest lies in Movement Disorders, Stroke and Epilepsy. Dr. Goyal completed his fellowship in Movement Disorders from Sree Chitra Tirunal Institute, the best institute of fellowship, India. He has been primarily involved in the pre and post management of Deep Brain Stimulation in SCTIMST. Also, he has been trained in BOTOX for various movement disorders. Other than medical practices, he has also been Assistant Professor Neurology in the known Narayana Medical college. Find More Neurologists in Delhi. You can visit him at Neurodent — The SuperSpeciality Clinic in kalyan Vihar, Delhi.

Physical examination

Amid a neurological examination, the neurologist audits the patient’s wellbeing history with unique thoughtfulness regarding the present condition. The patient at that point takes a neurological exam. Normally, the exam tests mental status, capacity of the cranial nerves (counting vision), quality, coordination, reflexes, and sensation. This data enables the neurologist to decide if the issue exists in the sensory system and the clinical restriction. Confinement of the pathology is the key procedure by which neurologists build up their differential conclusion. Additionally tests might be expected to affirm a conclusion and eventually direct treatment and proper administration.

Clinical undertakings

This area needs extra references for check. It would be ideal if you help enhance this article by adding references to dependable sources. Unsourced material might be tested and evacuated. (February 2015) (Learn how and when to expel this format message)

Neurologists analyze patients who are alluded to them by different doctors in both the inpatient and outpatient settings. Neurologists start their associations with patients by taking a thorough restorative history, and after that playing out a physical examination concentrating on assessing the sensory system. Parts of the neurological examination incorporate evaluation of the patient’s psychological capacity, cranial nerves, engine quality, sensation, reflexes, coordination, and stride.

In a few examples, neurologists may arrange extra symptomatic tests as a feature of the assessment. Normally utilized tests in neurology incorporate imaging concentrates, for example, processed hub tomography (CAT) examines, attractive reverberation imaging (MRI), and ultrasound of significant veins of the head and neck. Neurophysiologic examines, including electroencephalography (EEG), needle electromyography (EMG), nerve conduction contemplates (NCSs) and evoked possibilities are additionally normally requested. Neurologists much of the time perform lumbar punctures to evaluate attributes of a patient’s cerebrospinal liquid. Advances in hereditary testing have made hereditary testing a critical device in the arrangement of acquired neuromuscular sickness and finding of numerous other neurogenetic illnesses. The part of hereditary impacts on the improvement of gained neurologic illnesses is a dynamic territory of research.

A portion of the normally experienced conditions treated by neurologists incorporate cerebral pains, radiculopathy, neuropathy, stroke, dementia, seizures and epilepsy, Alzheimer’s malady, consideration deficiency/hyperactivity disorder,[8] Parkinson’s illness, Tourette’s disorder, numerous sclerosis, head injury, rest issue, neuromuscular sicknesses, and different contaminations and tumors of the sensory system. Neurologists are likewise requested to assess lethargic patients in a coma to affirm mind demise.

Treatment choices change contingent upon the neurological issue. They can incorporate alluding the patient to a physiotherapist, endorsing solutions, or suggesting a surgical method.

A few neurologists work in specific parts of the sensory system or in particular methodology. For instance, clinical neurophysiologists work in the utilization of EEG and intraoperative checking to analyze certain neurological issue. Different neurologists work in the utilization of electrodiagnostic prescription examinations — needle EMG and NCSs. In the US, doctors don’t normally have practical experience in every one of the parts of clinical neurophysiology — i.e. rest, EEG, EMG, and NCSs. The American Board of Clinical Neurophysiology confirms US doctors all in all clinical neurophysiology, epilepsy, and intraoperative observing. The American Board of Electrodiagnostic Medicine confirms US doctors in electrodiagnostic prescription and ensures technologists in nerve-conduction thinks about. Rest solution is a subspecialty field in the US under a few therapeutic claims to fame including anesthesiology, inner medication, family prescription, and neurology. Neurosurgery is a particular claim to fame that includes an alternate preparing way, and underlines the surgical treatment of neurological issue.

Additionally, numerous nonmedical specialists, those with doctoral degrees(usually PhDs) in subjects, for example, science and science, study and research the sensory system. Working in research centers in colleges, healing facilities, and privately owned businesses, these neuroscientists perform clinical and lab analyses and tests to take in more about the sensory system and discover cures or new medications for ailments and disarranges.

A lot of cover happens amongst neuroscience and neurology. Numerous neurologists work in scholarly preparing healing facilities, where they direct research as neuroscientists notwithstanding treating patients and instructing neurology to medicinal understudies.

Khoa học thần kinh - Phần 1

Khoa học thần kinh (hay neurobiology) là nghiên cứu khoa học về hệ thần kinh. Nó là một ngành khoa học đa ngành, liên quan đến giải phẫu học, sinh hóa học, sinh học phân tử và sinh lý học của nơ-ron và mạch thần kinh. Nó cũng dựa trên các lĩnh vực khác, với sự rõ ràng nhất là dược học, tâm lý học và y học.

Phạm vi của khoa học thần kinh đã được mở rộng theo thời gian để bao gồm các cách tiếp cận khác nhau được sử dụng để nghiên cứu khía cạnh phân tử, tế bào, phát triển, cấu trúc, chức năng, tiến hóa, tính toán, tâm lý xã hội và y học của hệ thần kinh. Khoa học thần kinh cũng đã làm nổi lên các nguyên tắc khác như neuroeducation, neuroethics và thần kinh thần kinh. Các kỹ thuật được sử dụng bởi các nhà thần kinh học cũng đã mở rộng rất lớn từ các nghiên cứu tế bào phân tử và tế bào của các nơ-ron cá nhân đến việc hình ảnh các tác động cảm giác và động cơ trong não. Những tiến bộ lý thuyết gần đây về khoa học thần kinh cũng đã được hỗ trợ bởi nghiên cứu các mạng thần kinh.

Theo kết quả của ngày càng nhiều các nhà khoa học nghiên cứu hệ thống thần kinh, một số tổ chức khoa học thần kinh nổi bật đã được hình thành để cung cấp một diễn đàn cho tất cả các nhà thần kinh học và nhà giáo dục. Ví dụ Tổ chức Nghiên cứu não Quốc tế được thành lập vào năm 1960, Hiệp hội Hóa học Thần kinh Quốc tế năm 1963, Hiệp hội Não và Hành vi Châu Âu năm 1968, Hiệp hội Khoa học Thần kinh năm 1969

Lịch sử

Minh họa từ Grey’s Anatomy (1918) về một cái nhìn ngang của bộ não con người, bao gồm các vùng hippocampus giữa các tính năng thần kinh học khác Nghiên cứu sớm nhất về hệ thần kinh ngày xưa đến với Ai Cập cổ đại. Trepanation, thực hành phẫu thuật của một trong hai khoan hoặc cạo một lỗ vào hộp sọ với mục đích chữa đau đầu hoặc rối loạn tâm thần, hoặc giảm áp lực sọ, lần đầu tiên được ghi lại trong thời kỳ đồ đá mới. Các bản thảo năm 1700 TCN chỉ ra rằng người Ai Cập có một số kiến thức về các triệu chứng tổn thương não

Quan điểm ban đầu về chức năng của não coi nó là một “nhồi sọ” của các loại. Ở Ai Cập, từ cuối Trung Quốc trở đi, não được thường xuyên loại bỏ để chuẩn bị cho ướp xác. Người ta tin rằng vào thời điểm đó trái tim là chỗ ngồi của trí thông minh. Theo Herodotus, bước đầu ướp xác là “lấy một miếng sắt uốn cong, và kéo nó ra khỏi lỗ mũi, để thoát khỏi một phần, trong khi hộp sọ được dọn dẹp phần còn lại bằng cách rửa bằng ma túy. “

Quan điểm cho rằng trái tim là nguồn gốc của ý thức đã không bị thách thức cho đến thời của bác sĩ Hy Lạp Hippocrates. Ông tin rằng não không chỉ liên quan đến cảm giác – vì hầu hết các cơ quan chuyên biệt (ví dụ như mắt, tai, lưỡi) đều nằm ở đầu gần não – nhưng cũng là nơi có trí thông minh. Plato cũng suy đoán rằng não là chỗ ngồi của phần hợp lý của linh hồn . Aristotle, tuy nhiên, tin rằng trái tim là trung tâm của trí thông minh và não điều chỉnh lượng nhiệt từ tim. Quan điểm này được chấp nhận rộng rãi cho đến khi bác sĩ Roman Galen, một tín đồ của Hippocrates và bác sĩ của Roman Gladiator, quan sát thấy rằng các bệnh nhân của ông ta bị mất năng lực trí tuệ khi họ bị tổn thương não.

Abulcasis, Averroes, Avicenna, Avenzoar, và Maimonides, hoạt động trong thế giới Hồi giáo Trung cổ, mô tả một số vấn đề y tế liên quan đến não. Trong thời Phục hưng Châu Âu, Vesalius (1514-1564), René Descartes (1596-1650), và Thomas Willis (1621-1675) cũng có nhiều đóng góp cho khoa học thần kinh.

Trong nửa đầu của thế kỷ 19, Jean Pierre Flourens đi tiên phong trong việc thực hiện các tổn thương cục bộ của não trong động vật sống mô tả ảnh hưởng của chúng lên động cơ, nhạy cảm và hành vi. Các nghiên cứu về bộ não trở nên phức tạp hơn sau khi phát minh ra kính hiển vi và sự phát triển của một thủ thuật nhuộm bằng Camillo Golgi trong những năm cuối của những năm 1890. Thủ tục sử dụng một muối bạc cromat để lộ cấu trúc phức tạp của các nơ-ron cá nhân. Kỹ thuật của ông đã được Santiago Ramón y Cajal sử dụng và dẫn đến sự hình thành học thuyết thần kinh, giả thuyết rằng đơn vị chức năng của não là thần kinh. Golgi và Ramón y Cajal đã chia sẻ giải Nobel về Sinh lý học hoặc Y học vào năm 1906 vì những quan sát, mô tả và phân loại nơ-ron trong não của họ. Trong khi tác phẩm tiên phong của Luigi Galvani vào cuối những năm 1700 đã đặt ra giai đoạn nghiên cứu tính kích thích điện của cơ và nơ-ron, vào cuối thế kỷ 19 Emil du Bois-Reymond, Johannes Peter Müller và Hermann von Helmholtz đã chứng minh rằng kích thích điện các nơ-ron thần kinh dự đoán ảnh hưởng đến các trạng thái điện của các nơ-ron lân cận, và Richard Caton tìm ra các hiện tượng điện trong bán cầu não của thỏ và khỉ.

Cùng với nghiên cứu này, làm việc với các bệnh nhân bị tổn thương não do Paul Broca gợi ý rằng một số vùng não nhất định chịu trách nhiệm về một số chức năng nhất định. Vào thời điểm đó, những phát hiện của Broca được xem như một sự xác nhận lý thuyết của Franz Joseph Gall rằng ngôn ngữ được bản địa hoá và các chức năng tâm lý nhất định đã được bản địa hoá trong các khu vực cụ thể của vỏ não. Nội địa hoá giả thuyết chức năng được hỗ trợ bởi các quan sát bệnh nhân động kinh do John Hughlings Jackson, người đã đưa ra một cách chính xác sự tổ chức của vỏ động cơ bằng cách theo dõi sự tiến triển của động kinh qua cơ thể. Carl Wernicke tiếp tục phát triển lý thuyết về chuyên môn hóa các cấu trúc não đặc biệt trong việc hiểu và sản xuất ngôn ngữ. Nghiên cứu hiện đại thông qua các kỹ thuật chụp ảnh thần kinh, vẫn sử dụng bản đồ giải phẫu học của não Brodmann (xem nghiên cứu về cấu trúc tế bào) từ thời đại này để tiếp tục cho thấy các vùng riêng biệt của vỏ não được kích hoạt trong việc thực hiện các công việc cụ thể .

Trong thế kỷ 20, khoa học thần kinh bắt đầu được công nhận là một ngành học riêng biệt, chứ không phải là các nghiên cứu về hệ thần kinh trong các ngành khác. Eric Kandel và các cộng tác viên đã trích dẫn David Rioch, Francis O. Schmitt, và Stephen Kuffler đã đóng vai trò quan trọng trong việc thiết lập lĩnh vực này.Rioch có nguồn gốc từ việc tích hợp các nghiên cứu về giải phẫu học và sinh lý học với tâm thần học lâm sàng tại Viện Nghiên cứu Quân đội Walter Reed, bắt đầu từ những năm 1950. Trong cùng thời kỳ đó, Schmitt đã thành lập một chương trình nghiên cứu thần kinh học thuộc Bộ Sinh học thuộc Viện Công nghệ Massachusetts, đưa các sinh vật học, hóa học, vật lý và toán học. Bộ phận thần kinh học tự do đầu tiên (sau đó gọi là Psychobiology) được thành lập vào năm 1964 tại Đại học California, Irvine của James L. McGaugh, sau đó là Khoa Sinh học Thần kinh học tại Trường Y Harvard, được thành lập vào năm 1966 bởi Stephen Kuffler.

Sự hiểu biết về nơ-ron và chức năng hệ thần kinh ngày càng trở nên chính xác và phân tử trong thế kỷ 20. Ví dụ, vào năm 1952, Alan Lloyd Hodgkin và Andrew Huxley trình bày mô hình toán học để truyền các tín hiệu điện trong nơ-ron của sợi trục thần kinh của mực, và chúng được gọi là “tiềm năng hành động”, và chúng được bắt đầu và truyền bá như thế nào Mô hình Hodgkin-Huxley. Trong những năm 1961-1962, Richard FitzHugh và J. Nagumo đã đơn giản hoá Hodgkin-Huxley, trong cái được gọi là mô hình FitzHugh-Nagumo. Năm 1962, Bernard Katz đã mô phỏng sự dẫn truyền thần kinh qua không gian giữa các nơron gọi là khớp thần kinh. Bắt đầu từ năm 1966, Eric Kandel và các cộng tác viên đã kiểm tra những thay đổi sinh học ở nơ-ron liên quan đến học tập và bộ nhớ trong Aplysia. Năm 1981, Catherine Morris và Harold Lecar kết hợp các mô hình này trong mô hình Morris-Lecar. Công việc định lượng ngày càng làm tăng số lượng mô hình nơ-ron sinh học.
