    This document provides information about the Maymuna Neurosciences Trust, including their contact information and focus on promoting neurosciences. It then discusses motor stereotypies, defining them as involuntary, patterned movements that interfere with activities or cause self-injury. Various forms of stereotypies are mentioned like hand waving and body rocking. Finally, a case study is presented about a girl who developed encephalitis and subsequent hypersexuality and abnormal behaviors, with the correct answer being that she likely suffered damage to her bilateral temporal lobes.

    MOTOR STEREOTYPIES
    They are involuntary, patterned, coordinated, repetitive, often rhythmic, non-reflexive
    movements that are goal directed and occur in the same fashion with each repetition.
    These must be present for at least four weeks and markedly interfere with normal activities or
    possibly cause self injury which therefore excludes mild, non troublesome forms of stereotypies.
    Stereotypic movements come in a variety of forms eg hand waving/rotating, arm flapping, finger
    wiggling, body rocking, head nodding.
    Definitions are descriptive and visualization of the movements is essential for proper diagnosis.
    Differential diagnosis includes:
    mannerisms, complex motor tics, compulsions, paroxysmanl dyskinesias, masturbation.

    QUESTION 0017
    A 16 year old girl developed encephalitis and a few weeks later exhibited hyper-sexuality,
    abnormal passivity and would place objects in her mouth.
    The parts of her brain most likely to be damaged are:
    A
    Dominant frontal lobe
    B
    Dominant parietal lobe
    C
    Bilateral frontal lobes
    D
    Bilateral temporal lobes
    E
    Corpus callosum
    Answer is on the following page.

    ANSWER 0017
    The answer is D.
    Kluver-Bucy syndrome usually occurs in the setting of bilateral temporal lobe damage which
    results in visual agnosia, hyper-orality, hyper-sexuality, memory deficits and altered emotional
    behaviour with reduced expression and sense of fear.

    ANSWER 0015
    The answer is
