Interesting -- one of my treasured books
is "Frontal Lobe Function and Dysfunction".
I can't understand most of it, but the parts
that I do are really inspiring. I've always
thought that such injuries as head crash are
underestimated. And of course they would be
as we did not have MRIs and PetSpectrometers
etc. for the brain until recently. But now
you can actually find lesions and tumours that
are directly responsible for focal areas that
correspond to certain behavioural abnormalities,
and emotional ones. I don't know about the metabolic ones -- i gues that's spinal tap and
blood tests.This drug neurontin is not new; i recall it
was used for panic 15 yrs. ago, but i think
it's agitating, no? Maybe it has advantages
over high-dosing of benzos.Squiggles
