Abstract:

:Six patients characterized by psychopathic behavior were treated with lesions placed in the center median nucleus of the thalamus. There was marked improvement of the psychopathic behavior in five patients. One patient with unilateral thalamotomy was parqially improved. Four of the six patients have been productive and earn a living. The other two have been partially productive. There were no long-lasting postoperative complications after thalamotomy for psychopathic behavior. The various and hyperirritability, and previously have been collectively identified as the "hyperresponsive syndrome". The psychopathic behavior in these condition of the diencephalon.
