Exploring the Brain with Drugs,
Abstract
Based on present data it is suggested that exploration of the brain with drugs allows also exploration of the mind, for which it is the substrate. Drugs may be used to increase understanding of cerebral function in health and disease and to assess functional disintegration as in brain damage, ageing, mental retardation and mental disturbance. Proposed clinical yardsticks based on this could be used for diagnosis, for evaluation of therapy, for screening populations for individuals in need of preventive or prophylactic care and in the evaluation of new drugs.
