[On amnesic episodes (author's transl)].

Amnesic episodes occur suddenly out of full health and pass off spontaneously after about three to six hours. Consciousness and customary speech and action are maintained during these periods, but powers of acute observation and memory for preceding weeks are lost. But amnesia persists only for the events during the amnesic episode. Temporary and circumscribed ischaemia in the limbic system is thought to be the case. Three case reports are presented to illustrate precipitating circumstances.

[Hypothalamus: some diagnostic principles].

The hypothalamus is a small group of receptors for visceral control, receiving influences from other parts of the nervous system. In turn, some hypothalamic nuclei send efferent impulses to the neurohypophysis, back along limbic pathways to the cortex and down to the autonomic centers in the brain stem. Not all the experimental observations on lower vertebrates can be applied to hypothalamic nuclear areas and connections in man. Therefore, knowledge of such functions and clinical syndromes as those relating to regulation of cardiovascular system, temperature, feeding, drinking, electrolyte balance and the sleeping-waking cycle continues to be incomplete.
