Why is it important?
Since three decades not major advances have been made in psychopharmacology and the drug-resistant disease remain in psychiatry a challenge. Psychosurgery is nowadays a limited option to face this challenge. This work bring new theoretical orientations for the development of psychosurgery.
Perspectives
Modern psychosurgery has been developed according to principles of functional neurosurgery (especially movement disorders surgery). In this work we give some new translational perspectives brought by cognitive neuroscience, computational neuroscience and advances in neuroplasticity to give new theoretical approaches for the development of psychosurgery.
