In view of the unlikeness of the categories in which psychological and neural phenomena are conveniently and convenionally placed, it is difficult to discuss the psychiatrical application of neurophysiology without coming to some conclusion as to the immediate relationship between these two groups of events. The ultimate relationship can be taken for granted. Mental phenomena and neurophysiological phenomena I shall regard as two aspects of the same brain function, whatever else they may be. Were it possible to go beyond this general statement and to discover a direct and detailed correlation between mental and physiological functioning, the result would unquestionably be profitable to both sides. In a few cases (eg, paresis, where a definite anatomical pathology can be recognized) correlation of a sort can be made. But even here such knowledge as is available upon brain-lesions gives only general information as to the derangement of physiological function that might be correlated with mental derangement. The occasion for this state of affairs might serve to illustrate the general case; perhaps the difficulty lies in our ignorance of what such a lesion as that of brain syphilis does to the physiological functioning of neuronal groups. Before any extensive destruction of tissue can be anatomically detected, there must have been a considerable derangement of normal function in these same tissues, and even if an earlier recognition of the pathological condition is possible, no adequate methods have been developed to study directly and in detail the functioning of the cells involved.(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved)
