As neuroscience technologies develop, ethical and legal questions arise regarding their use and societal impact. Neuroethics and neurolaw are growing interdisciplinary fields that address these questions. This review article presents the research agenda of both areas, examines the use and admissibility of neuroscience in expert testimony and legal settings, and discusses ethical issues related to forensic neuropsychiatrists claiming expertise in neuroscience, formulating medical opinions based on neuroscience, and considering its relevance to criminal responsibility. Forensic neuropsychiatrists should be aware of emerging neuroscientific evidence, its utility and limits in rendering diagnoses and explaining behavior, and, before seeking such evidence for legal purposes, its availability and admissibility. When testifying in matters involving neuroscientific evidence, ensuring truthfulness and balance, having sufficient and validated knowledge (including openness with confirming and disconfirming evidence), understanding standards of practice, and drawing relevant and appropriate conclusions remain important.

法医神经精神病学中的神经伦理学和神经法：临床医生指南

随着神经科学技术的发展，有关其使用和社会影响的伦理和法律问题随之出现。神经伦理学和神经法学正在发展解决这些问题的跨学科领域。这篇综述文章介绍了这两个领域的研究议程，审查了神经科学在专家证词和法律环境中的使用和可接受性，并讨论了与法医神经精神病学家声称拥有神经科学专业知识、根据神经科学制定医学意见并考虑其相关性相关的伦理问题。刑事责任。法医神经精神病学家应了解新出现的神经科学证据、其在诊断和解释行为方面的效用和局限性，并在出于法律目的寻求此类证据之前，了解其可用性和可接受性。在涉及神经科学证据的事项上作证时，确保真实性和平衡性、拥有充分且经过验证的知识（包括确认和否定证据的开放性）、理解实践标准以及得出相关和适当的结论仍然很重要。
