Abstract

This study explores Vincent van Gogh's struggles with executive functions and his experiences with episodes of depression. In the final years of his life, Van Gogh encountered visual and auditory hallucinations, often lasting for few days. His correspondence reveals his concerns about the clarity of his mind during this period, suggesting the possibility of visual hallucinations influencing his artistic work. He mentioned the term "delirium" in his letters, indicating the presence of a brief psychotic episode. This study also considers the potential influence of factors like nutrition, tobacco, alcohol consumption, somatic diseases, and psychological distress on his susceptibility to delirium.

文森特-凡高的精神状况:分析。
本研究探讨了文森特-凡高与执行功能的斗争以及他的抑郁症发作经历。在凡高生命的最后几年,他经常出现视觉和听觉幻觉,而且往往持续数天。从他的书信往来中可以看出,他对这一时期头脑清晰度的担忧,暗示了视觉幻觉影响他艺术创作的可能性。他在书信中提到了 "谵妄 "一词,这表明他曾有过短暂的精神病发作。本研究还考虑了营养、烟草、饮酒、躯体疾病和心理困扰等因素对他谵妄易感性的潜在影响。

期刊介绍: Neurocase is a rapid response journal of case studies and innovative group studies in neuropsychology, neuropsychiatry and behavioral neurology that speak to the neural basis of cognition. Four types of manuscript are considered for publication: single case investigations that bear directly on issues of relevance to theoretical issues or brain-behavior relationships; group studies of subjects with brain dysfunction that address issues relevant to the understanding of human cognition; reviews of important topics in the domains of neuropsychology, neuropsychiatry and behavioral neurology; and brief reports (up to 2500 words) that replicate previous reports dealing with issues of considerable significance. Of particular interest are investigations that include precise anatomical localization of lesions or neural activity via imaging or other techniques, as well as studies of patients with neurodegenerative diseases, since these diseases are becoming more common as our population ages. Topic reviews are included in most issues.
