Bridging the Great Divide: What Can Neurology Learn from Psychiatry?

---

Neurology and psychiatry share common historical origins and rely on similar tools to study brain disorders. Yet, the practical integration of medical and scientific approaches across these clinical neurosciences has remained elusive. While much has been written about the need to incorporate emerging systems-level, cellular-molecular and genetic-epigenetic advances into a science of mind for psychiatric disorders, less attention has been given to applying clinical neuroscience principles to conceptualize neurologic conditions using an integrated neurobio-psycho-social approach. In this perspective article, we first briefly outline the historically interwoven and complicated relationship between neurology and psychiatry. Through a series of vignettes, we then illustrate how some traditional psychiatric conditions are being re-conceptualized in part as disorders of neurodevelopment and awareness.
