This paper briefly describes how the electrical stimulation, used since antiquity to modulate nervous system, has been a fundamental tool of neurophysiologic investigation in second half 18th century and was subsequently by early 20th century, even for therapeutic purposes. In mid-20th advent stereotactic procedures allowed drift from lesional stimulating technique deep nuclei brain this way, DBS born, that, over last two decades, led positive results treatment medically refractory...
Neuralink’s advancements in brain-computer interface (BCI) technology have positioned the company as a leader this emerging field. The first human implant 2024, followed by subsequent developments such Blindsight for vision restoration, marks significant milestone neurotechnology. innovations, including miniaturized devices and robotic implantation techniques, promise transformative applications individuals with neurological conditions. However, these raise critical clinical, ethical,...
Abstract The public opinion and the scientific community incorrectly believe that English term "lunatic" was originally related only to insanity, but it also referred epileptic people. aim of this article is clarify original meaning word by analyzing evolution relationship between psychiatric neurological diseases pointing out influence moon in history medicine, popular traditions, literature. contains a detailed accurate review modern literature on epilepsy/psychiatric disorders. Keywords:...
Significant correlations in the concentrations of phenobarbital, phenytoin, and carbamazepine brain, plasma, cerebrospinal fluid were found 12 surgically treated epileptic patients. These findings confirm clinical reliability monitoring anticonvulsant drug plasma levels as part routine management epilepsy. Phenobarbital, are uniformly distributed gray white matter different brain areas (except for a higher concentration phenobarbital rhinencephalic structures comparison with corresponding...
There is little knowledge on sleepwalking in ancient times even though it a very common condition. The aim of this report to describe the backgrounds medical somnambulism 19th century, key period development neurosciences, by analysing its representation two famous Italian operas: <i>La Sonnambula</i> Vincenzo Bellini and <i>Macbeth</i> Giuseppe Verdi. 19th-century operas may be considered as crossing point between popular intellectual world because they mirror...
Acute interictal psychotic attacks during withdrawal of medication are described in two patients with temporal lobe epilepsy submitted to depth EEG study a view surgical treatment. The were on chronic treatment clonazepam associated one phenobarbitone and the other plus carbamazepine. Our observations suggest that acute clonazepam, plasma levels which monitored may play part producing characterised by dysphoric manifestations, irritability, aggressiveness, anxiety, hallucinations. These...

Abstract In an earlier study, DeBenedittis and Sironi (1986) demonstrated that during depth EEC studies, electrophysiological correlates of hypnotic behavior emphasize the role limbic system in mediating trance experience. case a young man who was affected by medically resistant temporal lobe epilepsy potential candidate for surgical treatment, diagnostic EEG non-hypnotic conditions offered unique opportunity to stimulate structures. This permitted evaluation subjective behavioral responses,...
Abstract To the authors' knowledge, hypnosis has never been induced in epileptic patients during a depth EEG study. This neurosurgical diagnostic procedure routinely used medically resistant for preoperative exact delimitation of epileptogenic lesion. It offers unique opportunity to obtain fundamental information on possible neurophysiological mechanisms implicated hypnosis. Observations were carried out 1 patient affected by partial seizures with complex symptomatology. A chronic deep...
The microbiome is proving to be increasingly important for human brain functioning. A series of recent studies have shown that the influences central nervous system in various ways, and consequently acts on psychological well-being individual by mediating, among others, reactions stress anxiety. From a specifically neuroethical point view, according some scholars, particular composition microbiome-qua microbial community-can consequences traditional idea individuality. Another aspect...
The study of the electroencephalogram signals recorded from subjects during an experience is a way to understand brain processes that underlie their physical and emotional involvement. Such have form time series, analysis could benefit applying techniques are specific this kind data. Neuroaesthetics, as defined by Zeki in 1999, scientific approach aesthetic perceptions art, music, or any other can give rise judgments, such liking disliking painting.
