Psychosurgery. Psychiatric neurosurgery. Neurosurgery for psychiatric disorders. Whatever the name, each of these refers to the surgical treatment of mental disease. Indeed, as many have pointed out, the most common term, "psychosurgery," is itself a misnomer, because the target of these procedures is not the "mind" or "psyche" but the neural substrates of higher cognitive function.
精神外科手术。精神神经外科手术。针对精神障碍的神经外科手术。无论叫什么名字，这些都指的是对精神疾病的外科治疗。的确，正如许多人所指出的，最常用的术语“精神外科手术”本身就是一个不恰当的名称，因为这些手术的目标不是“心智”或“ psyche”，而是更高认知功能的神经基质。
