Riassunto

Personality disorders, affective disorders, anxiety neurosis, hallucinations and delusions can all be manifestations of a neurological, rather than psychiatric problem. It is the difference between an organic/structural brain disorder and a functional one. In practice, the dividing line is not always clear. Behavioral neurology is the neurology of psychiatry.

In light of an evolving restructuring of our understanding, the authors provide a timely review of clinical behavioral neurology in the setting of contemporary neuroanatomical and neurochemical theory.
