Kluver-Bucy syndrome
Kluver-Bucy syndrome results from temporal lobe, and most specifically amygdaloid, damage. It presents with a mixed picture of loss of fear, diminished aggression, a change of dietary habit, sexual overactivity, visual agnosia and memory loss.
The causes of this syndrome include:
- temporal lobe damage, e.g. temporal lobectomy and trauma
- neurodegeneration, e.g. Alzheimer's disease
- infection, e.g. herpes simplex encephalitis
