For almost a century now, since Freud described the basic
motivations and Pavlov the basic mechanisms of human behavior, we
have had a reasonable concept of the forces that drive us. Only
recently have we gained any real insight into how the brain really
works to produce such behavior. The new developments in cognitive
psychology and neuroscience have taught us things about the
function of the brain that would have been inconceivable even ten
years ago. Yet, there still remains a tremendous gap between the
two studies-human behavior and brain function-a gap which often
seems irrec oncilable in view of the basic differences in the
methodologies and approaches of the two fields. Students of
behavior are frequently disinterested in the underlying neu
rophysiology while neurophysiologists tend to consider the concepts
of psychiatrists and clinical psychologists too vague and
theoretical to be applicable to their own more limited schemata.
Several valiant attempts have been made by experimentalists to
develop a theoretical context in which behavior is described, not
separately from brain function but rather as its direct outgrowth.
This present work is still another attempt to develop a theoretical
system which, given the limitations of our present knowledge, as
completely as possible, the underlying brain mechanisms that influ
will describe ence and determine human behavior. The main emphasis
of this work, however, will be not on normal behavior but rather on
more neurotic manifestations."
