Can memories kindle nonconvulsive behavioral seizures in humans? Case report exemplifying the “limbic psychotic trigger reaction”

Kindled non-convulsive behavioral seizures, analogous to primates. A 24th case of ‘limbic psychotic trigger reaction’: Bizarre parental infanticide —might nonvoluntariness during LPTR become objectified by primate model?

“…Thus, LPTR symptomatology is consistent with the generally accepted characteristic of simple seizures (with preservation of consciousness), during which EEG abnormalities are rare (e.g., occurring only in 15% of ongoing recordings of observed simple seizures, Devinsky, Kelley, Porter, & Theodore, 1988). Moreover, aside from LPTR's primate model, a certain consistency also pertains to certain human experimentation with direct electrical stimulation of brain implants in pre-surgery patients (Gloor et al, 1982; detailed by Pontius, 1997); and Wieser (1983Wieser ( , 1987, detailed by Pontius and Wieser (2004).…”

“…All LPTR patients have repeatedly and consistently presented with 13 symptoms and signs (Table 1), determined by 16 inclusion and 13 exclusion criteria (Pontius, 1997;Pontius & Wieser, 2004, Table 1). LPTR may, however, not be limited to felonies which have attracted forensic attention. In addition there may exist many more 'merely' social misbehaviors, undetected and untreated as 'sleeper' cases of LPTR.…”

“…This hypothesis is capable of uniting seemingly unrelated symptoms and signs into a neurophysiologically meaningful pattern, and clinical syndrome of partial seizures, called limbic psychotic trigger reaction (LPTR) (Cromie, 1996;Landau, 1996;LoPiccolo, 1996;Pontius, 1981Pontius, , 1984Pontius, , 1986Pontius, , 1987Pontius, , 1990Pontius, , 1993aPontius, , 1993bPontius, , 1993cPontius, , 1995Pontius, , 1996aPontius, , 1996bPontius, , 1997Pontius, , 1999Pontius, , 2000Pontius, , 2001aPontius, , 2001bPontius, , 2002aPontius, , 2002bPontius, , 2003Pontius, , 2004Pontius, , 2005Pontius & LeMay, 2003;Pontius & Wieser, 2004;Shostakovitch & Leonova, 2004). Outstanding indications for a seizure syndrome are particularly its paroxysmal course and its emergence in three seizure-like phases (aura, ictus, post-ictus; see Table 1).…”

“…The symptomatology is determined by 16 inclusion and 13 exclusion criteria (Pontius & Wieser, 2004, Table 1). …”

The evolutionary neuroandrogenic theory of criminal behavior expanded

“…For example, many instances of kleptomania and sadistic crimes of passion may be the result of brain seizures, particularly seizure in or around the limbic system (Devinsky, Vorkas, Barr, & Hermann, 2007;Kaplan, 2007;Pontius & Wieser, 2004). ENA theory asserts that increasing brain seizuring is a third way that exposing the brain to high levels of testosterone can promote criminality.…”
