Extract

As scientific technologies become more sophisticated, clinicians may come to think that they must devolve into passive recipients rather than contributors to the advances in basic knowledge. This perception and accompanying modesty towards the neurosciences, however, is an error. The intellectual trade between clinician and bench scientist has always been bi-directional and nowhere is this more clearly evident than in recent interactions between psychiatry and neuroscience.
