Extractions: Kluver-Bucy Syndrome Bilateral destruction of the amygdaloid body and inferior temporal cortex results in emotive behavioral changes known as Kluver-Bucy syndrome. The amygdala is a brain area located in the subcortical region of the temporal lobe. Human occurence of Kluver-Bucy syndrome typically results from surgical lesions, meningoencephalitis, or the rare disorder, Pick's Disease. Overview of Amygdala Anatomy and Function Emotional Blunting: The subject suffering from Kluver-Bucy displays a flat affect and may not respond appropriately to stimuli. Following bilateral amygdala lesions, previously fierce monkeys will approach fear-inducing stimuli with no display of anger or fear. Hyperphagia: Patients with Kluver-Bucy often suffer from extreme weight gain without a strictly monitored diet. This is likely for the purpose of oral stimulation or exploration and not indicative of a satiety disorder. There is a strong tendency for those with Kluver-Bucy to compulsively place inedible objects in their mouths. Inappropriate Sexual Behavior: Human subjects with Kluver-Bucy may fail to publicly observe social sexual morays and there may be an increase in their sexual activity. Monkeys with bilateral amygdala lesions demonstrate atypical sex behaviors, mounting inanimate objects and members of the same sex.

Extractions: It's hard to imagine life without emotions. We live for them, structuring circumstances to give us moments of pleasure and joy, and avoiding situations that will lead disappointment, sadness, or pain. The rock critic Lester Bangs once said, "The only questions worth asking today are whether humans are going to have any emotions tomorrow, and what quality of life will be if the answer is no." Joseph Le Doux. "The Emotional Brain" Damage to the front of the temporal lobe and the amygdala just below it can result in the strange condition called Kluver-Bucy Syndrome. Classically, the person will try to put anything to hand into their mouths and typically attempt to have sexual intercourse with it. A classic example is of the unfortunate chap arrested whilst attempting to have sex with the pavement. Effectively, it is the "what" pathway that is damaged with regards to foodstuff and sexual partner. As Ramachandran puts it, "they are not hypersexual, just indiscriminate. They [monkeys with surgically modified temporal lobes] have great difficulty in knowing what prey is, what a mate is, what food is and in general what the significance of any object might be."
Kluver-Bucy Syndrome An article about kluverbucy syndrome, the causes, epidemiology, symptoms, prognosis and treatment approach. http://schatz.sju.edu/neuro/disorders/kluverbucy.html
Extractions: First observed in monkeys after bilateral anterior temporal lobetomy. Produced by lesions of the amygdala, found in the temporal lobe. At a minimum, lesions causing Kluver-Bucy have been noted to damage, in addition to the amygdala and uncus, the hippocampal formation and cingulate gyrus, and the orbiofrontal, insular, and temporal cortices (Guard et al., 1982). Demographics/Epidemiology: In human pathology, the full syndrome is extremely rare. This rarity may suggest that other damage may be necessary for its appearance. Components of the syndrome are occasionally reported after amygdala lesions, such cases make up a very small minority, the only exception being a series of patients who received aspiration removals of the amygdala and subsequently displayed abnormal oral symptoms (Sawa et al., 1954). DSM IV Diagnosis/symptoms: More than 100 years ago, Brown and Schafer observed that large lesions of the temporal lobe transformed normally wild and fierce monkeys into tame, indifferent creatures. Prior to surgery, the animals would assault anyone who tried to handle them. Following surgery they could be handled and teased without consequence. Later, Kluver and Bucy noted that temporal lobe lesions also resulted in psychic blindness.

Extractions: (walk into the most x-rated experimental notes in the history of science)! Heinrich Kluver and Paul Bucy found that a bilateral removal of the temporal lobe in rhesus monkeys caused a dramatic effect on the animal's behavior. The set of behaviors exhibited by the monkeys got named the Kluver-Bucy syndrome. This included psychic blindness, hypermetamorphosis, oral tendencies, altered sexual behavior, and emotional changes. Pyschic blindness he term used to refer to the monkey's inablity to recognise the common objects, understand their meaning, or even realise that these objects were in front of them. They would examine their entire world with their mouths (instead of with their eyes), thus the term - oral tendencies. There was also an irrestistable desire to examine everything, this was called hypermetamorphosis. The monkeys showed a striking increase in sexual behavior. This included masturbation, heterosexual and homosexual acts - this is were their experimental notes were like a script for an x-rated monkey movie). Emotional changes were particularly striking. The monkeys showed little emotion in their facial expressions and vocalizations. They also showed a decrease in fear. These normally wild monkeys would not only approach and touch a human but would allow the human to stroke it as well. The same fearlessness was exhibited with other animals even the monkey's natural enemies. If they were attacked by a snake, they would go back and reexamine it again.

Major symptoms may include an urge to put all kinds of objects into the mouth, memory loss, extreme sexual behavior, placidity, and visual distractibility. Kluver-Bucy Syndrome is characterized by loss of memory. There may also be indiscriminate sexual behavior. However, other emotional behavior in response to stimuli is usually lacking (indifference or placidity). An almost uncontrollable appetite for food is also noted. There may also be other forms of dementia (loss of reason) as well. There is an excessive tendency to put all sorts of objects in the mouth, and easy extractability by external stimuli (particularly visual) is usually present.

Extractions: Med.Sci 532 Structure-Function Klüver-Bucy Syndrome This syndrome has only really been seen in experimental monkeys. If part of the temporal lobes are removed the monkey cannot recognize objects (visual agnosia). These monkeys exhibit bizarre oral behaviors such as sticking things in their mouths that normal monkeys would have nothing to do with. They also become hyperactive and hypersexual making physical contact with almost anything in their environment. Wild, fearful and aggressive monkeys become tame and showed no fear when handled by humans or presented with snakes which rhesus monkeys normally avoid.

Human sexuality can only be understood as part of the social life of humans, governed by the same rules of culture and learning as other behaviors and meanings. In the same way that we cannot speak or walk on two feet without learning how, so too is human sexuality formed by the complex social environment in which we live. Reproduction is one function of sexuality, but only one among many. Human physiology makes sexuality possible, but it does not predict sexual behavior in any way. Click the link for more information. Nymphomania is the name of what was believed to be a psychological disorder peculiar to women characterized by an overactive libido Libido means sexual drive. Sigmund Freud introduced the term and pointed out that the libido can come in conflict with terms of civilized behaviour, leading to tension and disturbance.
