Anyone who has any contact with mental patients, old or young, or
their families, or just visits a mental hospital or school for the
retarded, is aware of the tremendous suffering caused by
malfunctioning of the brain. The func tion of no other organ is so
crucial for our everyday life, our proper func tioning, indeed our
happiness, and no other illness causes as much anguish to patients
or their families as mental illness. It is surprising and sad,
therefore, how little effort has been devoted to research in this
area; more so because such research is the only hope to ameliorate
this suffering, or, to speak in the language of politics or
economics, to decrease the enormous sums that we spend on trying to
help our patients, with what is must generally be agreed are the
most primitive and inadequate methods of treatment. Clearly, since
functions of the brain are vital not only in illness, but in
health, pathology is not the only area of concern to neurochemists,
but it is an area that urgently needs neurochemical contributions.
Progress in this field has been slower than in other areas of
neurochemistry, and it seems that solutions in this field are very
elusive. The reason for this is that the experimental approach is
especially difficult in conditions specific for humans, or specific
for complex behavior."
