Nature Of Medicine

This paper examines forecasts made by writers, medical and non-medical alike, as to the nature of medicine in a future society. In particular, starting from Plato and Sir Thomas More, it explores what place (if any) has been envisaged for medicine in a future Utopian society. By way of an explanatory device, predictions concerning medicine are compared and contrasted to expectations as to the role of the sciences, natural and social. Investigation of the corpus of social prognostications in fact reveals a dearth of glorious expectations as to the future of medicine as such, although certain writings have held out great hopes for biologistic disciplines, such as eugenics. It is often in ‘golden age’ fantasies about the early history of mankind that the most glowing descriptions of complete health are painted. Similarly, perfect health is something often viewed not in social but in individualistic terms. Explanations are offered of these perhaps slightly surprising facts.

The notion of discourse represents a major novelty in modern theory of nationalism. Discursive approach as a key method of social investigation continues to earn indisputable authority in modern science. The article is dedicated to study of nationalism as a specific social discourse and the way of cognizing and interpreting social reality.

Social interactions are crucial to the survival and well-being of all mammals, including humans. Although the prelimbic cortex (PL, part of medial prefrontal cortex) has been implicated in social behavior, it is not clear which neurons are relevant, nor how they contribute. We found that the PL contains anatomically and molecularly distinct subpopulations of neurons that target 3 downstream regions that have been implicated in social behavior: the nucleus accumbens (NAc), the amygdala, and the ventral tegmental area. Activation of NAc-projecting PL neurons (PL-NAc), but not the other subpopulations, decreased preference for a social target, suggesting an unique contribution of this population to social behavior. To determine what information PL-NAc neurons convey, we recorded selectively from them, and found that individual neurons were active during social investigation, but only in specific spatial locations. Spatially-specific inhibition of these neurons prevented the formation of a social-spatial association at the inhibited location. In contrast, spatially nonspecific inhibition did not affect social behavior. Thus, the unexpected combination of social and spatial information within the PL-NAc population appears to support socially motivated behavior by enabling the formation of social-spatial associations.

This article discusses the timing of the social investigation and the proper use of social investigation reports by the juvenile court, with particular attention to the use of such reports by the judge on the question of adjudication; their availability to the child, his parents, and counsel when used in disposition; and their accessibility to appellate courts, private social agencies, governmental agencies, and others. All-or-nothing alternatives are rejected; the proper legislative and juridical approach must be based on an accommodation of the various interests. In de linquency cases the social investigation should not commence until an adjudication of involvement is made; the report should be consulted by the judge only as an aid in making disposition. As to disclosure, the issue is not whether it should be made but rather how much of the contents of the report should be disclosed. Suggested guidelines for disclosure of the report to the child, his attorney, and appellate courts are based on accommodation of the interest of the juvenile in the accuracy, relevance, and comprehensiveness of the information upon which a legal determination is made, and the interest of the caseworker in pre serving the integrity of his relationship with the child and the privacy of information revealed to him in confidence.
