Dušan Hirjak, Robert Christian Wolf, G. Bernhard Landwehrmeyer, Georg Northoff
Abstract
Catatonia is a complex neuropsychiatric syndrome with motor, cognitive-behavioural and affective manifestations. Hirjak et al. look back at the history of catatonia, but also provide a modern perspective on what the condition can tell us both clinically and scientifically, and how we can best understand it.
