Guide to using the ectopic brain

The ectopic brain was created for Brigham and Women's neuropsychiatry and behavioral / cognitive neurology fellows as a broad clinical guide. It is largely divided into two sections – a guide to your behavioral neurology clinic and a guide to your neuropsychiatry clinic, each of which uses different approaches due to the unique goals posed in each subspecialty. While each clinic has the objective of providing patient care, the behavioral neurology clinic trends more towards diagnostic clarity in older individuals with cognitive complaints, whereas the neuropsychiatry clinic typically exercises symptom management in patients with already known neurological conditions. There is, of course, overlap between the two clinic management styles, but due to the limitations of treatments in dementia and concrete diagnostics in psychiatric disorders, the focus falls upon the fields’ respective strengths.
