Clinical-experimental interactions in the development of neuroscience. A primer for nonspecialists and lessons for young scientists.
In the article, the author gives examples of some aspects of the development of neuroscience that may be of particular interest to the nonspecialist. In addition to the scientific discoveries involved, the examples illustrate how astute observations in the clinic can draw the attention of workers in the laboratory to significant new problems and how experiments in the laboratory can provide foundations for new clinical applications. These examples also illustrate general lessons that young investigators may find useful and point to the importance of facilitating communications among psychology's fragmenting specialties.
