Biomarkers in Psychiatric Disorders
Central and peripheral biomarkers can be used to diagnose, treat, and potentially prevent major psychiatric disorders. But there is uncertainty about the role of these biological signatures in neural pathophysiology, and their clinical significance has yet to be firmly established. Psychomotor, cognitive, affective, and volitional impairment in these disorders results from the interaction between neural, immune, endocrine, and enteric systems, wh…
Neural Prosthetics: Neuroscientific and Philosophical Aspects of Changing the Brain
Neural prosthetics (neuroprostheses, neural prostheses) are devices or systems that influence the input and output of information in the brain. They modulate, bypass, supplement, or replace regions of the brain and its connections to the body that are damaged, dysfunctional, or lost from brain injury, congenital conditions, limb loss, or neurodegenerative disease. Neural prosthetics can generate, improve, or restore sensory, motor, and cognitive …

Medicine through the novel: Lying Awake
Narrative fiction can engage readers in generating imaginative recreations of the inner worlds of doctors and patients, which are largely inaccessible through typical clinical case analysis. Fiction about medicine can yield insight into patients' subjective experience of illness and can highlight the need for an empathetic response from doctors to patients affected by illness. Mark Salzman's novel, Lying Awake, invites us to reflect on social, ps…
Transcendence and healing
Healing aims to restore the wholeness of persons by restoring the unity of mind and body disrupted by disease. Transcendence promotes healing by altering or cultivating beliefs that can modulate the body's response to pain or make sense of pain. This in turn can produce an emotional response that enables people to cope with chronic or terminal illness. I explain transcendence in terms of a monistic rather than dualistic conception of mind and bod…

Unamuno's San Manuel Bueno, martir: Ethics through Fiction
Charity and Distributive Justice: Misericordia Reexamined
Much like Nazarin and Halma, Misericordia expresses the same spiritualism characteristic of Galdos's novels in the last decade of the nineteenth century.' Christian charity is a manifestation of such spiritualism, and Galdosistas have claimed that the practice of this virtue by its principle exponent, Benina Casia, enables her to liberate herself from all forms of institutionalization. There is a constant awareness on her part that God is the mak…
