ABSTRACT
Central nervous system syndromes associated with Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) include seizures, hydrocephalus, depression, psychosis and anxiety, to name just a few. Fortunately, the evidence coming from neuroscience and psychology suggesting a physical basis for our personhood and identity is consistent with the message presented by the Bible. More familiar neurological disorders that seem to have an affect on ones identity and self include amnesia and Alzheimers disease. Glenn Weaver reports on how identity and spirituality can be negatively affected in individuals suffering from these neurological conditions. A final disorder that can affect the self is schizophrenia. The prefrontal cortex (PFC) is an area of the frontal lobe where information from the major sensory regions of the brain converges and is integrated. Views of human nature, personhood, the self and the soul are of more than merely theoretical interest.
