Around 85% of its victims, predominantly children, adolescents and younger adults, survived the acute disorder, but most developed severe neurological syndromes, particularly severe post-encephalitic parkinsonism and other severe motor abnormalities, that incapacitated them for the remainder of their lives. Despite its brief history, encephalitis lethargica played a major role in a variety medical discussions between the two World Wars, as this epitome of neuropsychiatric disease attacking both motor and mental functions, appeared just as the separation of neurology and psychiatry had reached a critical point. Encephalitis lethargica sufferers presented an unprecedented combination of neurologic and psychiatric symptoms, including previously puzzling phenomena primarily associated with schizophrenia and hysteria, as well as behavioral changes and attention deficit disorders in children that not only underscored the unity of mind and movement in the CNS, but also illuminated the critical role played by subcortical structures in consciousness and other higher mental functions that had formerly been associated with the soul and more recently presumed to be localized to the human cerebral cortex. Encephalitis lethargica exerted a greater influence on clinical and theoretic neuroscientific thought between the two World Wars than any other single disorder, and had an enduring impact upon neurology and psychiatry. This book will be of interest to an educated audience active or interested in clinical (neurology, psychiatry, psychology) or laboratory neuroscience, particularly those interested in neuropsychiatry, as well as to those interested in the history of the biomedical sciences"--Back cover Parkinson Disease, Postencephalitic history (DNLM)D010301Q000266 Encephalitis history (DNLM)D004660Q000266 Brain Diseases pathology (DNLM)D001927Q000473 Neurophysiology history (DNLM)D009482Q000266 History, 20th Century (DNLM)D049673 Epidemic encephalitis History Encephalitis Brain Diseases Psychology, Pathological Human physiology Biomedicine Brain Diseases fast Encephalitis fast Epidemic encephalitis fast Human physiology fast Psychology, Pathological fast Stern Felix 1884-1941 (DE-588)11727464X Widmungsempfänger dte BK020000 XK020000 XK020000 UFBI-201811 nebis EN UFBIMEDGES UFBI-201811 NEBIS UMBC UMBC ULCAR WM 11-97 NEBIS 100 1- Foley Paul Bernard 1961- (DE-588)123742013 Verfasser aut NEBIS 700 1- Stern Felix 1884-1941 (DE-588)11727464X Widmungsempfänger dte NEBIS UZH50 EBI01 UMBC https://opac.nebis.ch/objects/pdf03/UMBC_978-1-4939-0383-2_01.pdf Titelblatt und Inhaltsverzeichnis VIEW pdf SWISSBIB 512443521
