Excerpt
In this chapter, the tools offered by history taking and examination for discovering the contribution of cerebral dysfunction to psychological abnormality and behavioral disturbance are reviewed. The focus is on methods of filling in a matrix of clinical information; clinical correlates of the symptoms and signs discussed are mentioned but not comprehensively reviewed. The focus also is on the manifestations of cerebral disease rather than on systemic disorders and the signs to which they may give rise in the general physical examination.
