This chapter discusses the clinical necessity from which the intersection of neurology and psychiatry arose, exploring different eras and their associated intellectual milestones in order to understand the historical framework of contemporary neuropsychiatry. Identifying Hippocrates’ original acknowledgement of the relation of the human brain to epilepsy as a start point, the historical development of the field is traced. This encompasses Thomas Willis and his nascent descriptions of the limbic system, the philosophical and alchemical strides of the Enlightenment, and the motivations behind the Romantic era attempts to understand the brain. It then follows the growth of the field through the turn of the twentieth century, in spite of the prominence of psychoanalysis and the idea of the brainless mind, and finally the understanding of the ‘integrated action’ of the body and nervous system, which led to the integration of psychiatry and neurology, allowing for the first neuropsychiatric examinations of epilepsy.

This paper presents the application of a novel intelligent control strategy for lane change maneuvers in highway environment. The lateral dynamics of a vehicle with and without wind disturbance are derived and utilized to implement a neuromophic controller based on the brain limbic system. To show the robustness of the proposed controller, several disturbance conditions including wind, uncertainty in the cornering stiffness, and changes in the vehicle mass, are investigated. To demonstrate the performance of the suggested strategy, the simulation results of the proposed method were compared with the human driver model based control scheme, which has been discussed in the literature. The simulation results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed controller in energy efficiency, driving comfort, and robustness.

A microcephalic human newborn exhibited a repertoire of spontaneous REM behaviors, including REM smiling, at rates characteristic of a normal newborn comparison group. Cyclical alternations between behavioral REM and non-REM states were also documented. A detailed post-mortem examination supported an inference that this infant had severely impaired functioning of cerebral cortex and limbic system during its brief postuterine life. The findings support a tentative conclusion that the observed spontaneous REM behaviors are mediated through the brain stem and that cerebral structures, including the limbic system, are not necessary for this mediation. The findings are also consistent with previous evidence that the seat of organization of REM and non-REM sleep is in the brain stem.

The Brain

Phantom limbs pose a philosophical problem about the location of pains. The work of Descartes first used them to make a philosophical point about the brain in relation to the body. They have traditionally been thought of as being due to nerve endings on the pathway to the original limb being activated. However, it was subsequently discovered that the phenomenon occurs even when the spinal chord is severed, suggesting that it is rather a question of brain activity, part of a neurosignature through which the brain indicates the body is one’s own. More recent resarch suggests involvement not only of the sensory systems but also the parietal cortex and the limbic system, which is concerned with emotion and motivation.

Insight Into

The mediodorsal nucleus (MD) represents just one piece of a complex relay structure situated within the brain, called the thalamus. MD is characterized by its robust interconnections with other brain areas, especially with limbic-related structures. Given the close anatomo-functional relationship between the MD and the limbic system, this particular thalamic nucleus can directly influence various affective behaviors and participate in cognition. In this work, we review data collected from multiple anatomical studies conducted in rodent, human, and non-human primates, highlighting the complexity of this structure and of the neural networks in which it takes part. We provide proof that the MD is involved in the unification of several anatomical structures, being able to process the information and influence the activity in numerous cortical and subcortical neural circuits. Moreover, we uncover intrinsic and extrinsic mechanisms that offer MD the possibility to execute and control specific high functions of the nervous system. The collected data indicate the great importance of the MD in the limbic system and offer relevant insight into the organization of thalamic circuits that support MD functions.

Insight Into

A common response following an incident is, ‘What were they thinking?’. This rhetorical question implies blame. While all incidents can be linked to human error, a more insightful and expansive question would be ‘Were they thinking?’. This question leads to identifying broader organisational factors that contributed to the error in decision making. Understanding thinking is critical in taking the next step to prevent harm. Neuroscience provides us with insight into how we think; how the brain makes decisions and introduces additional risk we refer to as Limbic RiskTM. The majority of our thinking is in fact unconscious, automatic and reactive and stems from the oldest part of our brain called the limbic system. The minority of decisions are conscious, logical and responsive and use a newer part of our brain called the pre-frontal cortex (PFC). The ability to use our PFC is significantly impacted by stress. There are five significant stressors; pressure, fatigue, irritation, distraction and complacency which impact our ability to use our PFC and add Limbic RiskTM to the environment. Traditional safety management focuses on managing external, observable including physical and behavioural risk. Preventing harm requires an expanded perspective to understand, interrupt and prevent Limbic RiskTM, and importantly equip leaders with the capability to create a LimbicSafe® environment given their influence on others is a significant 70%.

Since the emergence of the symptoms neuroscience in our body the center is in the brain, one of them is emotion. Emotions are intense feelings directed at someone or something, there are differences in studying emotions according to Islamic religion and neuroscience. In neuroscience emotions lie within the limbic system of the brain, whereas in Islamic religion emotions lie in the heart (Qolb). Therefore there are significant differences regarding the emergence of emotions in the neuroscience and religion of Islam, for that we try to correlate with the perspective of the neuroscience and Islam so as to produce an interconnected perspective between the two.

“The Neuroscience of Learning Agility” explores the relationship between neurobiology and learning agility. It provides an overview of the organization of the brain, focusing on the roles of the limbic system and the prefrontal cortex and how these particular brain regions relate to personality, executive function, and the metacompetencies of emotional intelligence and learning agility. The neuroscience of learning is discussed, including the brain’s attention networks, neuroplasticity, and biological underpinnings of memory. An argument is posited that the brain’s perceptions of threats directly impacts one’s personality and, by extension, influences one’s level of learning agility. The chapter concludes by providing neuroscience-based suggestions for developing learning agility.
