ABSTRACT
The child's ability, in particular, to imitate the mother's facial expressions may relate to an innate body schema of proprioceptive and motor-perceptual pathways. The structural architecture is important in clarifying the evolutionary development of the mechanisms of memory, attention and perception. If the authors want to find a unitary description of the human brain that also satisfies psychoanalytic theory, dynamic P-I development of pathogenic classes seems to identify a valid collaboration between psychoanalysis and neuroscience. Psychoanalysis would not exist if Freud had not placed the dream at the centre of his understanding of psychic functioning. Dreams can be interpreted as a property of the regulation of the dynamic basal patterns and, therefore, in turn off subject-object integration. The most straightforward significance, however, is certainly that of the link that this relational model highlights between the regulatory functions of the brainstem, which are essential in neurophysiology for the wake-sleep-dream cycle, and Freud's dream theory.
