Com 60 anos de carreira, 22.794 citações em periódicos, 60 premiações e 710 artigos publicados, Ivan Izquierdo, 78, é o neurocientista mais citado e um dos mais respeitados da América Latina. Nascido na Argentina, ele mora no Brasil há 40 anos e foi naturalizado brasileiro em 1981. Hoje coordena o Centro de Memória do Instituto do Cérebro da PUC-RS.

Suas pesquisas ajudaram a entender os diferentes tipos de memória e a desmistificar a ideia de que áreas específicas do cérebro se dedicariam de maneira exclusiva a um tipo de atividade.

Ele falou à Folha durante o Congresso Mundial do Cérebro, Comportamento e Emoções, que aconteceu esta semana, em Buenos Aires. Izquierdo foi o homenageado desta edição do congresso.

Na entrevista, o cientista fala sobre a utilidade de memórias traumáticas, sua descrença em métodos que prometem apagar lembranças e diz que a psicanálise foi superada pelos estudos de neurociência e funciona hoje como mero exercício estético./.../

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder

JAMA. 2011;305(18):1926. doi: 10.1001/jama.305.18.1926

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is an anxiety disorder ...
This Patient Page is based on one published in the October 27, 2004, issue of JAMA.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder is characterized by the presence of obsessions or compulsions or (as is often the case) both of them. The obsessions or compulsions cause marked distress, are time-consuming, and interfere with the person's normal functioning.

Obsessions—unwanted, recurrent thoughts, impulses, or images that are experienced as intrusive and inappropriate

• The obsessions of OCD are not just worries about real-life problems.
• The person realizes that the obsessive thoughts are from his or her own mind.
• The person attempts to suppress or neutralize the obsessions with actions or other thoughts.
• Examples of typical obsessions include thoughts of being contaminated by dirt or germs or thoughts of having hurt someone, even though recognizing that such concerns are not realistic.

Compulsions—repetitive behaviors or "rituals" that the person feels driven to perform in a particular way

• The compulsive actions are done to reduce distress or to prevent something bad from happening, even though there is no realistic connection with preventing such an occurrence.
• Typical compulsions include excessive cleaning (such as hand washing), repetitive checking, and hoarding of useless items.
• Mental acts such as praying, counting, or repeating words silently can be compulsions for some persons./.../

"A MAN WITH A CONVICTION is a hard man to change. Tell him you disagree and he turns away. Show him facts or figures and he questions your sources. Appeal to logic and he fails to see your point." So wrote the celebrated Stanford University psychologist Leon Festinger(PDF), in a passage that might have been referring to climate change denial—the persistent rejection, on the part of so many Americans today, of what we know about global warming and its human causes. But it was too early for that—this was the 1950s—and Festinger was actually describing a famous case study in psychology./.../

Easy-Going Personality Reduces Dementia Risk

By Crystal Phend, Staff Writer, MedPage Today Published: January 19, 2009 Reviewed by Zalman S. Agus, MD; Emeritus Professor  University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine.

STOCKHOLM, Sweden, Jan. 19 -- A relaxed approach to life may protect against dementia in older age regardless of social activity, researchers found. 

In a study of the Swedish population, older adults who were socially outgoing but not easily distressed by circumstances were 49% less likely to develop dementia over time than were people who were extroverted and neurotic.
