Psychotherapy and the Single Synapse: The Impact of Psychiatric Thought on Neurobiologic Research
Abstract
THE title of this lecture is at best premature and more likely absurd, but I have adopted it for two reasons. In the first place, I want to emphasize the continuing tension within psychiatry between biologic and psychologic explanations of behavior. Secondly, I want to consider the simplistic but perhaps useful idea that the ultimate level of resolution for understanding how psychotherapeutic intervention works is identical with the level at which we are currently seeking to understand how psychopharmacologic intervention works — the level of individual nerve cells and their synaptic connections.I will discuss the second issue later. First, . . .

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
