Neuropathiatry: new language necessitated by the neuroscience revolution
Article Abstract:
The significant developments in the field of neuropathiatry has necessitated the introduction of new words and terms to describe the newly discovered phenomena and objects. The word 'neuropathiatry' itself does not signify the researches performed by the professionals in this discipline. The present description of various phenomena and objects in the field of 'neuropathiatry' are identical to those encountered in psychology and do not clearly describe or signify the phenomena which they are supposed to represent.

Is "sudden illumination" the result of the activation of a creative center at the human brain?
Article Abstract:
Creative thinking, as an analogue to language and consciousness, may be localized at a center in the brain. Creative thinking in human beings results from the gradual structuring of a vague problem in the mind, the existence of vast background knowledge, and an extended preoccupation with the problem. Usually a creative solution comes as a sudden insight. The occurrence of this sudden illumination provides medical science a clue for the investigation of its location in the brain.
