Behavioural Neurology, a new section in cortex.
نویسنده
چکیده
We are launching a new section of Cortex, dedicated to Cognitive and Behavioural Neurology (BN). BN has always been one of the key components of Cortex. Cubelli and Della Sala (2010) in their editorial conceptualized BN as the “descriptive” component of the term “neuro” in neuropsychology (as contrasted with the “object” of cognitive neuroscience and the “method” of cognitive neuropsychology). A definition of the “ingredients” characterizing BN which I, as former co-Editor in Chief of the journal Behavioural Neurology, particularly like, was provided in the editorial that appeared in the first issue of the journal in 1988:

متن کاملThe role of human parietal cortex in attention networks.
The parietal cortex has been proposed as part of the neural network for guiding spatial attention. However, it is unclear to what degree the parietal cortex contributes to the attentional modulations of activities of the visual cortex and the engagement of the frontal cortex in the attention network. We recorded behavioural performance and haemodynamic responses using functional MRI from a pati...
متن کاملImproved understanding of cortical injury by incorporating measures of functional anatomy.
Volume of injury is often used to describe a brain insult. However, this approach assumes cortical equivalency and ignores the special importance that certain cortical regions have in the generation of behaviour. We hypothesized that incorporating knowledge of normal brain functional anatomy into the description of a motor cortex injury would provide an improved framework for understanding cons...
متن کاملNeuroanatomical correlates of behavioural disorders in dementia.
Neurodegenerative diseases are associated with profound changes in social and emotional function. The emergence of increasingly sophisticated methods for measuring brain volume has facilitated correlation of local changes in tissue content with cognitive and behavioural changes in neurodegenerative disease. The current study examined neuroanatomical correlates of behavioural abnormalities, as m...
متن کاملChronic thinner intoxication: clinico-pathologic report of a human case.
A 27 year old Mexican male addicted for 12 years to glue-sniffing and thinner inhalation developed neurological and behavioural disturbances which led to hospital admission and death. Autopsy disclosed diffuse cerebral and cerebellar cortex atrophy and giant axonopathy both central and peripheral. The corpus callosum was atrophic secondarily to neuron loss in the neocortex.
