Bucy syndrome is a rare neurological condition that results from damage to the amygdala, a part of the brain involved in emotion regulation. It is often associated with bilateral lesions in this area, leading to changes in behavior and emotional responses. Individuals with Bucy syndrome may exhibit reduced fear, increased sexual behavior, and a tendency to approach rather than avoid potentially dangerous situations. The syndrome was first described in the 1930s by Heinz Bucy and Harry E. Kluver in studies involving monkeys. Symptoms can vary but typically include emotional blunting and hyperorality, where individuals may have an increased tendency to put objects in their mouths. Treatment focuses on managing symptoms and addressing underlying causes.
