Extractions: The author grants the right to copy without modification. As with rabies, it appears some sexually transmitted diseases have evolved the ability to alter the amygdala of their victims so as to facilitate their transmission. In the case of rabies, the amygdala alterations generate aggressive behavior, matching the mode of transmission of the virus which tends to be via bites. Sexually transmitted diseases should produce different changes in the amygdala enhancing, not aggressive, but rather sexual behavior. Here is evidence that increased indiscriminate sexual behavior is an extended phenotype of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus affected by amygdalar damage in the infected population: Kluver-Bucy syndrome is described below as involving: "a profound reduction in the animals aggression and fear, a hypoemotionality, a tendency to over react to any visual stimulus, hypersexuality and an excessive oral tendency (i.e. mouthing any objects). The monkeys also tended to eat meat and feces." Note further that " destruction of the amygdala alone was sufficient enough to produce the symptoms of the Kluver-Bucy syndrome."

Extractions: Kluver-Bucy Syndrome : A disorder caused by damage to the amygdala, the region of the brain most identified as controlling instinctual behavior such as eating, fight or flight, and the sex-drive. Individuals with Kluver-Bucy are unable to discriminate between targets for their instincts. They will thus attempt to inappropriately have intercourse with anything: objects, animals, people, and will attempt to place multiple objects in their mouths. Individuals also appear to be unable to recognize the functional use of objects or to recognize familiar objects. The above link also references several other interesting disorders for your amusement.

Extractions: Twelve patients with the Kluver-Bucy syndrome (KBS) are described. The syndrome occurred in head trauma, Alzheimer's disease, Pick's disease, and following herpes encephalitis. KBS was transient after head trauma but was a persistent feature of the postencephalitic syndrome. In all cases KBS was combined with aphasia, amnesia, or dementia. Human KBS resembles the monkey syndrome, but in humans there is a more elaborate complex of behavioral disturbances. The behavioral manifestations are produced by bilateral temporal lobe dysfunction. Partial expression of the syndrome may have

Extractions: We studied a patient with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and the Kluver- Bucy syndrome. At autopsy there was extensive degeneration of the limbic system with the brunt of the changes in the medial temporal lobe, especially the entorhinal cortex and subiculum. Degenerative changes were also seen in the substantia nigra and lower motor neurons. Morphometric and biochemical studies implied a disease process that affected small, possibly somatostatinergic, cortical neurons. These latter findings and the lobar

Extractions: Dear Anne, There are many disorders which cause over-eating, which can lead to obesity. You did not state your son's weight, or if his uncontrollable eating is associated with recurrent compensatory behaviors to prevent weight gain, such as self-induced vomiting, repeated laxative or diuretic use, or excessive exercise. If this should be the case, a diagnosis of bulimia nervosa is likely. Over-eating may also be seen in medical conditions such as hypothyroidism, and in rare syndromes such as Kluver-Bucy syndrome and Kleine-Levin syndrome, to name a few. The good news is that eating disorders can be successfully treated with cognitive-behavioral therapy, group therapy, family therapy, and medications. I hope you find this information helpful.

Extractions: kind of like blogging Main Kluver-Bucy Syndrome : "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.'" Cotard's Syndrome : "Named after a French psychiatrist Jules Cotard, this syndrome is characterized by the patient believing that he is dead, a walking corpse. This 'delusion' is usually expanded to the degree that the patient might claim that he can smell his own rotting flesh and feel worms crawling through his skin." Capgras' Syndrome : "Brilliantly described by Ramachandran, Capgras' syndrome is another neurological syndrome that is often mistaken for insanity. The Capgras' patient will typically identify people close to them as being imposters - identical in every possible way, but identical replicas. Classically, the patient will accept living with these imposters but will secretly 'know' that they are not the people they claim to be."

This Week in History Kluver-Bucy syndrome is a behavioral disorder that occurs when both the right and left medial temporal lobe s of the brain malfunction. The syndrome is named for Heinrich Kluver and Paul Bucy, who removed the temporal lobe bilaterally in rhesus monkey s in an attempt to determine its function. This caused the monkeys to develop psychic blindness, emotional changes, altered sexual behavior, hypermetamorphosis and oral tendencies. Though the monkeys could see, they were unable to recognize even previously familiar objects, or their use. They would examine their world with their mouths instead of their eyes ("oral tendencies") and developed a desire to explore everything ("hypermetamorphosis"). Their overt sexual behavior increased dramatically (" hypersexualism "), and the monkeys indulged in indiscriminate sexual behavior including masturbation, heterosexual acts and homosexual acts. Emotionally, the monkeys became dulled, and their facial expressions and vocalizations became far less expressive. They were also less fearful of things that would have instinctively panicked them in their natural state, such as humans or snakes. Even after being attacked by a snake, they would willingly approach it again. This aspect of change was termed "placidity". People with lesions in their temporal lobes show similar behaviors. They may display oral or tactile exploratory

Extractions: Klüver-Bucy syndrome is a rare neurological disorder that causes individuals to put objects in their mouths and engage in inappropriate sexual behavior. Other symptoms may include visual agnosia (inability to visually recognize objects), loss of normal fear and anger responses, memory loss, distractibility, seizures, and dementia. The disorder may be associated with herpes encephalitis and trauma, which can result in brain damage. Is there any treatment?
