DIENCEPHALIC AUTONOMIC EPILEPSY

PENFIELD, WILDER·1929·Archives of Neurology And Psychiatry

Abstract

Unlike the cerebrospinal nervous system, with its obvious and indispensable functions, the vegetative nervous system has been slow to come into its own. Only recently has its representation in the spinal cord and medulla oblongata been recognized, and still more recently its important representation in the midbrain and hypothalamus. The case I shall present would suggest that there are higher structures analogous to the cerebral motor cortex which are capable of producing, when irritated, paroxysmal motor discharges through the vegetative nervous system, similar to the focal discharges through the cerebrospinal system first described by Hughlings Jackson as epileptic. REPORT OF CASE History. —J. H., a woman, aged 41, entered the Presbyterian Hospital, New York, on Jan. 2, 1928, having been referred to me by Dr. Protzman of Englewood, N. J.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
