Abstract
La presente tesis plantea un abordaje interdisciplinar de laangustia y la ansiedad motivado por la gran incidencia de estaspatologías en la sociedad actual.En consonancia con esta prevalencia, que experimenta un claroaumento reflejado en las numerosas investigaciones dedicadas a estasrealidades, junto al importante consumo farmacológico con objeto demitigarlas, proponemos un nuevo planteamiento neurobiológico.Dicho planteamiento pretende arrojar luz sobre el sustrato deestas patologías de acuerdo con su concepción social generalizada.Los conocimientos neurobiológicos que presentamos permitenestablecer el sustrato subyacente en la angustia y la ansiedad, quesituamos en la plasticidad neuronal: en su condición de representantede la potencial capacidad de adaptación del cerebro y, por extensión, elser humano.Del mismo modo que el cerebro humano puede aprender,planteamos que resulta posible, vía modificación cerebral, abordar la lcomprensión de la angustia y la ansiedad.Desde nuestra visión neurocientífica la angustia y la ansiedadconstituyen herramientas adaptativas. La angustia concebida comouna emoción, constituye un conjunto de procesos fisiológicos que actúana nivel corporal y cerebral, resultado de un sistema que prepara parala acción, y producto de la escala evolutiva..
This Thesis´s report exposes an interdisciplinary approach toanguish and anxiety due to the big incidence of these pathologies in oursociety nowadaysDue to this prevalence, which is in big increase as shown bynumerous researchs focused on these realities, along with a bigpharmacological intake in order to avoid them, we propose a newapproach from a neurobiological point of view.This approach tries to explain the substrate of these pathologieswhen it comes to its social conception, which is generalized.The neurobiological knowledge which we present enables us toestablish the neurobiological substrate which underlies anguish andanxiety, which we consider to be the neural plasticity: as an agent ofthe potential capacity of adaptation of the human brain.As the human brain can learn, we propose that it could bepossible, to develop a study, via cerebral modification, in order tounderstand anguish and anxiety.From our neurobiological point of view, anguish and anxiety areadaptive tools. Anguish is an emotion, it´s a set of physiologicalprocesses which act as bodily and cerebral levels, as a consequence of asystem´s activity which prepares for action, and a product ofevolutionary scale.Anxiety, on the other hand, is an emotional experience, exclusiveof humankind, whose verbal expression is complex and limited for anumber or people who suffer from it. However, it can be possible, fromour approach, to contribute to the verbal expression and, as aconsequence, we propose this path: from bodily (anguish) to emotionelaboration of this emotion (a feeling)...
