Abstract

There is a gap in current neuroscientific understanding regarding psychological disorders. This case report shows how psychic disorganization can provoke transient motor and language disregulation, as well as disorientation, suggesting a neurological lapsus in a preadolescent girl (10 years old). The reported episode is not explained by neurocognitive alteration, as her neuropsychological profile suggests a typical neurodevelopment in attention, speed processing, visuospatial praxia, visual and verbal declarative memory, working memory, verbal fluency, verbal and visual concept formation, and cognitive flexibility. A psychological analysis of the preadolescent’s dissociation profile and symptoms evolution has been provided. The reported uncommon episode, in a still neuromaturational period of life, demonstrates the predominance of psychic organization over brain activation. Being suggested that body/mind influence can be bilateral, the study of psychodynamics ought to be updated and incorporated to neurosciences, beyond behavior and cognition.
