Past, present and future tasks of veterinary neuro-psychiatry

Reviewing the past, present and future tasks of veterinary neuro-psychiatry the author discusses, based on his own research, disorders involving behavioural changes, abnormal movements and disturbed consciousness that are a result of spontaneous or experimental cerebral changes. The necessity of internationally uniform terminology is stressed as well as the widening of research into these animal diseases and the inclusion of their results into the veterinary curriculum.
