Witzelsucht from the German witzeln, meaning to joke or wisecrack, and sucht , meaning addiction or yearning is a set of rare neurological symptoms characterized by the patient s uncontrollable tendency to make pun s, tell inappropriate jokes and pointless or irrelevant stories at inconvenient moments. The patient nevertheless finds these utterances intensely amusing. It is associated with small lesions of the orbitofrontal cortex . ref name jon05 It is distinguished from labile affect pathologic laughing by virtue of congruent affective experience and expression, and an admixture of irritability and mirth.

Orphan date February 2009 Automatism , in toxicology , refers to a tendency to take a drug over and over again, forgetting each time that one has already taken the dose. This can lead to a cumulative overdose. A particular example is barbiturates which were once commonly used as hypnotic sleep inducing drugs. Among the current hypnotics, benzodiazepines , especially midazolam might show marked automatism, possibly through their intrinsic anterograde amnesia effect. Barbiturates are known to induce hyperalgesia , i.e. aggravation of pain and for sleeplessness due to pain, if barbiturates are used, more pain and more disorientation would follow leading to drug automation and finally a pseudo suicide. Such reports dominated the medical literature of 60s and 70s a reason replacing the barbiturates with benzodiazepines when they became available. ref Encyclopedia of Family Health, edition 3, from Marshall Cavendish ref ref Lexicon of Psychiatry, Neurology, and the Neurosciences by Frank J Ayd from Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2000 ref References reflist Category Toxicology pharma stub med toxic stub ... more details

The lateral giant interneuron LG is an interneuron in the abdominal nerve cord of crayfish . It is part of the system that controls a special kind of escape reflex of crayfish. When the sensory hair s of the Decapod anatomy tail fan of crayfish are stimulated, the LG activates the motor neuron s that control flexion movements of the abdomen in the way that propels the crayfish away from the source of the stimulation. The LG bypasses the main neural system that controls locomotion, thus shortening the reaction time .
