Abstract

Understanding the etiology and meaning of behavioral symptomatology in the context of neurologic disease, and choosing the most effective intervention is a vexing task. This introduction summarizes the history of our understanding of the relationship between behavioral symptoms and primary neurologic conditions, and considers the ways in which both psychiatric and neurologic disorders occurring simultaneously may inform both knowledge of etiology and treatment decisions.

Keywords: Behavioral; Etiology; Neurologic; Psychiatric; Psychopharmacology; Treatment.
