Vincenzo R. Sanguineti

2007

Three languages to integrate neurobiology
and psychology

I met Vincenzo Sanguineti at a crucial point of my career, when, after 20 years of involvement in biological research applied to psychiatric disorders, I started to feel the emptiness and aridity of biological explanations that, besides the evidence of being incomplete and rough, lack, as Mandell stated, “the beauty and generativity of premolecular research.” I realized that microscopic dissection had been the main objective of too many scientists, including myself, for too long and this attitude precluded us from developing a vision of the brain and of the mind in their entirety.
