QUÉ SIGNIFICA LEUCOTOMY EN INGLÉS

Lobotomía

Lobotomy

Lobotomía es un procedimiento neuroquirúrgico, una forma de psicocirugía, también conocida como leucotomía o leucotomía (del griego λευκός leukos "claro, blanco" Y tomo). Consiste en cortar o raspar la mayor parte de las conexiones hacia y desde la corteza prefrontal, la parte anterior de los lóbulos frontales del cerebro. Aunque el procedimiento, inicialmente denominado leucotomía, ha sido controvertido desde su creación en 1935, fue un procedimiento predominante durante más de dos décadas, prescrito para condiciones psiquiátricas (y ocasionalmente otras), a pesar del reconocimiento general de los efectos secundarios frecuentes y graves. El autor del procedimiento, António Egas Moniz, compartió el Premio Nobel de Fisiología o Medicina de 1949 por el "descubrimiento del valor terapéutico de la leucotomía en ciertas psicosis", aunque la concesión del premio ha sido objeto de controversia. El uso del procedimiento aumentó dramáticamente en algunos países desde principios de la década de 1940 hasta la década de 1950; En 1951, se habían realizado casi 20.000 lobotomías en los Estados Unidos.

Lobotomy (Greek: λοβός lobos "lobe (of brain)"; τομή tomē "cut, slice") is a neurosurgical procedure, a form of psychosurgery, also known as a leukotomy or leucotomy (from the Greek λευκός leukos "clear, white" and tome). It consists of cutting or scraping away most of the connections to and from the prefrontal cortex, the anterior part of the frontal lobes of the brain. While the procedure, initially termed a leucotomy, has been controversial since its inception in 1935, it was a mainstream procedure for more than two decades, prescribed for psychiatric (and occasionally other) conditions, despite general recognition of frequent and serious side effects. The originator of the procedure, António Egas Moniz, shared the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine of 1949 for the "discovery of the therapeutic value of leucotomy in certain psychoses", although the awarding of the prize has been subject to controversy. The use of the procedure increased dramatically in some countries from the early 1940s and into the 1950s; by 1951, almost 20,000 lobotomies had been performed in the United States.
