2. Kluver-Bucy syndrome is a very rare cerebral neurological
disorder associated with damage to both temporal lobes
resulting in abnormalities in memory, social and sexual
functioning and idiosyncratic behaviours. The syndrome
affects males and females equally.

3. Kluver-Bucy syndrome in its complete adaptation seldom
occur in humans, however partial infliction or
presentation of this syndrome is caused by massive
bilateral temporal damage attributable to herpes,
degenerative disorders of the human brain like Pick’s
disease and Alzheimer’s disease or cerebral-vascular
diseases.

4. Individuals with Kluver-Bucy syndrome display the following
behavioural manifestations:
 Acts of licking and touching that are unacceptable for public
display
 Demonstrating excessive desire to engage in human sexual
practices (hypersexuality)
 Engagement in binge-eating (excessive, uncontrollable over
eating) with feelings of guilt and depression afterwards
 People suffering from Kluver-Bucy syndrome tend to be
subjected to memory disorders consisting of short-term memory
loss and other serious presentations of memory-related ailments
 Inability to recognize people
 Lack of fear reaction

5.  Patients of Kluver-Bucy syndrome may also exhibit
presentations of flattened emotions (placidity) like rare and
extreme feelings of calmness and undisturbed emotions
 Having some extent of difficulty in distinguishing and
identifying some objects.
Disorders related to Kluver-Bucy syndrome
Symptoms of the following disorders can be similar to those of
Kluver-Bucy syndrome:
 Pick disease, or front temporal dementia, is a very rare
progressive neurological disease initially predominately
affecting the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain. It is
characterized by progressive deterioration of intellect with
changes in behaviour and personality. The memory is usually
intact in the early stages of the disease and there is less
disorientation than in Alzheimer’s disease.

6.  Alzheimer’s disease is a common progressive disorder of
the brain affecting memory, thought and language.
Groups of nerve endings in the cortex of the brains of
people with Alzheimer’s degenerate and disrupt the
passage of electrochemical signals between the cells.
Affected individuals become increasingly forgetful. As
memory losses increase, personality, mood and behaviour
also tend to change.
 Korsakoff’s syndrome is a deficiency of vitamin B-1 that
leads to cardiovascular, central and peripheral nervous
system disturbances. Early symptoms of Korsakoff’s
syndrome include fatigue, irritation, poor memory,
difficulty sleeping, chest pain, abdominal discomfort,
poor appetite and constipation. Later symptoms are
principally cardiovascular and neurological.

psychotropic that may be effective for some of the
associated symptoms.
