  • Title: Klüver-Bucy syndrome in man: experiences with posttraumatic cases.
    Author: Gerstenbrand F, Poewe W, Aichner F, Saltuari L.
    Journal: Neurosci Biobehav Rev; 1983; 7(3):413-7. PubMed ID: 6669326.
    Abstract:
    After the original description of characteristic behavioral changes in rhesus monkeys after bilateral resection of major portions of the temporal lobes by Klüver and Bucy in 1937 [11], similar syndromes have repeatedly been reported in human pathology. The present paper is based on clinical analysis of 40 cases of traumatic apallic syndrome (TAS), 30 of whom developed a complete or partial Klüver-Bucy syndrome during recovery. The dynamics in the development of a Klüver-Bucy syndrome during remission of a TAS are analyzed. The delineation between a pre-stage, full-stage and remission-stage of the Klüver-Bucy syndrome is suggested.
