19NeurodiversityJournal of Ethics in Mental Health 2 (2): 1. 2007.The neurological and psychological traits that regulate our thought and behavior fall along a spectrum that extends from the normal to the pathological, from traits that enable us to perform mental and physical functions to traits that interfere with these functions.

13Free Will and the Brain: Neuroscientific, Philosophical, and Legal Perspectives (edited book)Cambridge University Press. 2015.Neuroscientific evidence has educated us in the ways in which the brain mediates our thought and behavior and, therefore, forced us to critically examine how we conceive of free will.

It also examines how brain science can inform our norma…Read more

Psychomotor, cognitive, affective, and volitional impairment in these disorders results from the interaction between neural, immune, endocrine, and enteric systems, which in turn are influenced by a person’s interacti…Read more
