Evidences Concerning the Neural Groundwork Underlying Certain Behavior Patterns1

Cases are described in which states ranging from a relatively simple expression of emotion to a complex psychotic picture are closely associated with, and presumably activated by, the epileptic process. Four different states are described: weeping; fear, probably associated with unconscious thought; pure depression alternating with elation; a picture of hebephrenic schizophrenia. The observations are interpreted in terms of discrete individuality of the neurone organizations which apparently underlie these various states. The observations furnish no evidence concerning the location of the neurone organizations
