The present paper argues that the development of a new methodology in studying the brain has resulted in a change of our views on the way it works, has seen the emergence of new ideas, and a considerable modification of traditionally accepted theories. The most significant are neuroplasticity, negative activity network (NAT), the nature of aphasic disorders, and the approach to the localization of brain functions. New brain imaging techniques have confirmed also the ability to change the neuronal circuits by mental force. Moreover, new techniques have brought about a rise in new methods for both the diagnosis and rehabilitation of individuals with various brain disorders. Most valuable in this respect has proved to be neurofeedback. We have concentrated on the most important contributions of Prof. Pąchalska in the implementation and development of these new ideas on brain functioning. We also emphasize the fact that her theoretical considerations are firmly based upon her extensive (forty years) work with brain damaged patients.

Over Time

Concussion is not a singular event, but rather a neurological process that may evolve over minutes to hours. Individuals with uncomplicated concussion may develop either increased or new symptoms during the first several hours following the initial injury, yet such symptoms do not result from progressive brain damage but rather a functional cascade of metabolic dysfunction. Any individual with suspected concussion should be monitored serially, as symptoms may evolve over time. When worsening symptoms do not manifest with worrisome neurologic signs, the individual does not require urgent transfer to a hospital and does not need urgent brain imaging studies. Therefore, concussion symptom evolution should be anticipated and distinguished from more severe traumatic brain injury.

The Brain

Some of the major effects of alcohol, and alcoholism, on the brain are reviewed, with reappraisal of evidence drawn from brain imaging, neuropathology, clinical psychology, and laboratory experimental work. A hypothesis is developed which may help to account for the wide variability encountered in individual susceptibility to alcoholic brain damage and its varied manifestations. Therapeutic implications are considered.

Reversible Encephalopathy

Chemotherapy may be responsible for central and/or peripheral neurotoxicity. These neurological complications are frequent but little known. Some molecules are more providers, responsible for acute or late complications, sometimes not reversible. Some manifestations such as acute encephalopathy and acute reversible encephalopathy are increasingly understood. We report here a case of acute ifosfamide-induced encephalopathy (EII) with brain damage resolved after discontinuation of this treatment in a 13-years-old child.
