  • From Dynamic Lesions to Brain Imaging of Behavioral Lesions: Alloying the Gold of Psychoanalysis with the Copper of Suggestion
    Neuropsychoanalysis, 2010, 12 (1) 5 From Dynamic Lesions to Brain Imaging of Behavioral Lesions: Alloying the Gold of Psychoanalysis with the Copper of Suggestion Amir Raz (Montreal) & Joanna B. Wolfson (New York) Contemporary studies in the cognitive neuroscience of attention and suggestion shed new light on psychoanalytic concepts of yore. Findings from neuroimaging studies, for example, seem to revive the notion of dynamic lesions—focal brain changes undetectable by anatomical scrutiny. With technologies such as brain imaging and reversible brain lesion, some findings from modern biological psychiatry seem to converge with nineteenth-century psychiatry, reminiscent of the old masters. In particular, suggestion has been shown to modulate specific neural activity in the human brain. Here we show that “behavioral lesions”—the influence that words exert on focal brain activity—may constitute the twenty-first-century appellation of “dynamic lesions.” While recent research results involving suggestion seem to partially support Freudian notions, correlating psychoanalysis with its brain substrates remains difficult. We elucidate the incipient role of cognitive neuroscience, including the relative merits and inherent limitations of imaging the living human brain, in explaining psychoanalytic concepts. Keywords: fMRI; genetics; hypnosis; neuroscience; ontology; suggestion “It is very probable, too, that the large-scale application of Indeed, these psychological constructs draw on over- our therapy will compel us to alloy the pure gold of analysis lapping brain circuitry, functional neuroanatomy, neuro- freely with the copper of direct suggestion . .” modulators, and cellular structure (Fernandez-Duque Sigmund Freud, Fifth International Psycho-Analytical & Posner, 2001; Posner & Fan, 2004; Raz, 2006; Raz, Congress, Budapest (Freud, 1919 [1918], pp.

  • Mapping the Cerebral Subject in Contemporary Culture DOI: 10.3395/Reciis.V1i2.90En
    [www.reciis.cict.fiocruz.br] ISSN 1981-6286 Researches in Progress Mapping the cerebral subject in contemporary culture DOI: 10.3395/reciis.v1i2.90en Francisco Fernando Vidal Max Planck Institute for the Ortega History of Science, Berlin, Instituto de Medicina Social Germany da Universidade do Estado [email protected] do Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil [email protected] Abstract The research reported here aims at mapping the “cerebral subject” in contemporary society. The term “cerebral subject” refers to an anthropological figure that embodies the belief that human beings are essentially reducible to their brains. Our focus is on the discourses, images and practices that might globally be designated as “neurocul- ture.” From public policy to the arts, from the neurosciences to theology, humans are often treated as reducible to their brains. The new discipline of neuroethics is eminently symptomatic of such a situation; other examples can be drawn from science fiction in writing and film; from practices such as “neurobics” or cerebral cryopreservation; from neurophilosophy and the neurosciences; from debates about brain life and brain death; from practices of intensive care, organ transplantation, and neurological enhancement and prosthetics; from the emerging fields of neuroesthe- tics, neurotheology, neuroeconomics, neuroeducation, neuropsychoanalysis and others. This research in progress traces the diversity of neurocultures, and places them in a larger context characterized by the emergence of somatic “bioidentities” that replace psychological and internalistic notions of personhood. It does so by examining not only discourses and representations, but also concrete social practices, such as those that take shape in the politically powerful “neurodiversity” movement, or in vigorously commercialized “neuroascetic” disciplines of the self.

  • Preliminaries for an Integration of Psychoanalysis and Neuroscience Mark Solms, Ph.D
    (2000). Annual of Psychoanalysis, 28:179-200 Preliminaries for an Integration of Psychoanalysis and Neuroscience Mark Solms, Ph.D. It is not difficult to understand why the relationship between psychoanalysis and neuroscience should interest us. Psychoanalysis is a science of the mind, and we have known since ancient times that the activities of the mind are in some intimate way connected with the tissues of the brain. This connection was established, from the start, on clinical grounds. Physicians through the ages recognized that diseases of the brain–unlike those of any other organ–had immediate effects on the functions of the mind. The celebrated case of Phineas Gage, which was first reported in 1848, is classically cited in this context (Harlow, 1948, Harlow 1968). A tamping rod passed through the frontal lobes of his brain, with the following results: “His physical health is good, and I am inclined to say that he has recovered … [but] his mind was radically changed, so decidedly that his friends and acquaintances said that he was ‘no longer Gage’” (Harlow, 1868). Observations such as these, which demonstrate that the brain and the personality are inextricable, make it clear that the object of study in psychoanalysis is somehow intrinsically connected with the object of study of neuroscience. Freud himself recognized this fact in his neurological writings, and he continued to acknowledge it throughout his psychological writings. Nevertheless psychoanalysis developed almost completely independently of neuroscience. We all know the reason for this: Despite the fact that Freud acknowledged that ‘the mental apparatus… is also known to us in the form of an anatomical preparation,’ as he put it (Freud, 1900, p.

[2] On 26 May 2014 I notified the magistrate and the DPP that the matter would be held in abeyance pending delivery of this court’s judgment in the matter of S v Pedro, a similar review which had been referred to open court for argument. Judgment in Pedro was handed down on 9 July 2014 ([2014] ZAWCHC 106). [3] On 23 July 2014 I invited the DPP’s comments on various matters. Those comments have now been received. [4] The record in this matter reflects the following. The accused was charged with having raped a woman with the penis (Part III of Schedule 2 of Act 105 of 1997). The rape was allegedly committed on 2 May 2010. The accused was released on bail. [5] On 6 July 2011 the defence attorney requested that the accused ‘be sent to a District Surgeon for psychiatric examination’. No order appears to have been made at that stage. The magistrate’s note indicates that on 5 August 2011 the accused was remanded on warning pending availability of a bed at Valkenberg Hospital (‘VBH’).

This ontological quality would define the ‘cerebral subject’ that has, at least in industrialized and highly medicalized societies, gained numerous social inscriptions since the mid-20th century. This article explores the historical development of brainhood. It suggests that the brain is necessarily the location of the ‘modern self’, and that, consequently, the cerebral subject is the anthropological figure inherent to modernity (at least insofar as modernity gives supreme value to the individual as autonomous agent of choice and initiative). It further argues that the ideology of brainhood impelled neuroscientific investigation much more than it resulted from it, and sketches how an expanding constellation of neurocultural discourses and practices embodies and sustains that ideology.
