With this issue, PPC introduces a new column, Brain Update. This ongoing column will provide the practicing nurse with featured aspects of brain biology. PPC offers this new feature in an effort to enable nurses to integrate brain biology more effectively into their practice. Topics of future columns will include the basal ganglia, the limbic system, the extrapyramidal system, and the role of biology in schizophrenia.
