A Neurological Model for Childhood Autism

Archives of Neurology, 1978
We analyze the behavioral and motor disturbances in childhood autism. On the basis of analogy to signs and conditions seen in adult neurology, we propose that the syndrome results from dysfunction in a system of bilateral neural structures that includes the ring of mesolimbic cortex located in the mesial frontal and temporal lobes, the neostriatum, and

Forgiveness: A neurological model

Medical Hypotheses, 2005
A definition of "forgiveness" is chosen that emphasizes its biological and neurological components, namely the cessation of emotions connected with memories of a hurtful act. An experience of forgiveness is analyzed into seven steps and each is associated with a neurological source.

Models of neurological defects and defects in neurological models

Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 1995
AbstractThe transition from research to patient following advances in transplantation research is likely to be disappointing unless it includes a better understanding of critically relevant characteristics of the neurological disorder and improvements in the animal models, particularly the behavioral features.

Equilibrium-Based Bipolar Neurological Modeling

2006 International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, 2006
This work introduces an equilibrium-based dynamic model for the characterization, classification, and diagnostic analysis of bipolar disorder, a psychiatric syndrome with manic and depressive phases. The new model extends the traditional spectrum model of mood states from a static and closed world to a dynamic open-world of equilibria with a bipolar ...

NOISE IN MODELS OF NEUROLOGICAL AND PSYCHIATRIC DISORDERS

International Journal of Neural Systems, 1996
The concept of noise has only recently been applied to modelling neuropsychiatric disorders. Two examples of such models are presented. 1. A phantom limb is a neurological condition after the amputation of an extremity. It consists of sensations of the presence of the lost limb and has been attributed to cortical as well as non-cortical mechanisms. A

Animal Models of Neurological Disease

2010
The use of animal models to study human pathology has proved valuable in a number of fields. Animal models of neurological disease have successfully and accurately recreated many aspects of human illness allowing for in-depth study ofneuropathophysiology.

Neurological Models

2004
AbstractThis chapter examines some of the most well-developed models of human neurological disorders that involve the cerebral hemispheres. It discusses cortical organization in rats and models of neurological disorders.

Modeling the Neurological Control of Human Movements

Journal of Motor Behavior, 1988
Although computer models have been extensively used in recent years to understand the way physical systems operate and interact, the enormous power of mathematical modeling and computer simulations has been difficult to implement for the benefit of neuroscientists studying the human motor control system.

Animal Models in Neurology: Drawbacks and Opportunities

Current Pharmaceutical Design, 2012
Animal models have been used widely in neurology since many decades. They have led to an improved understanding of the pathophysiological processes underlying frequent diseases as multiple sclerosis or Parkinson's disease and enabled the development of highly effective therapeutical approaches.

A model of neurological disorder: a basis for logical and structured thinking and reasoning in neurology

European Journal of Neurology, 1997
A model of neurological disorder in graphical form, based upon a model proposed by the World Health Organisation, is presented. This model is intended to be a basis for a logical and structured thinking and reasoning in neurology, not least in diagnosis. The model is a chain of basic elements in which each element causes the following one.
