Summary The Bolivian Neurological Society was
founded in La Paz, (the political capital)
October 15. 1995, as a result of a series of
preliminary organizational meetings started
and led by Dr. Rene Calderón Soria in 1993.
Calderón is a renowned scientist, who in the
60ies founded Bolivias National Institute of
Child Development. In the 70's, he initiated
the country´s first psychology course at the
Bolivian Catholic University and in the 80's
Calderon was also the founder of a
psychology degree program in the country's
main college of social sciences at the
University Mayor de San Andrés-La Paz. On
the next lines, I will present the most important accomplishments of the Bolivian
Neuropsychological Society (SNpB) and
take a chance on writing the first paragraphs
of what will become a future project of
investigation for the our society: "The history
of Neuropsychology in Bolivia". Keywords Neuropsychology, History,
Bolivia, Bolivian Neuropsychological
Society.
