Abstract:
A method is designed dividing the limbic system into sectors. The method was tested by analyzing 50 procedures carried out by the authors. Rostral limbotomies, performed either by open techniques (cingulectomy) or by stereotactic surgery, showed similar results, although recurrence was more frequent with stereotaxis. Comparison with other described procedures on the same areas revealed similar results. Analysis suggests that the interruption of the cingulum was responsible for the permanent behavior modification and not the interruption of intersecting anatomical systems.
