Explanation

Kluver-Bucy syndrome is typically associated with bilateral lesions of the amygdala.

This syndrome is characterized by a constellation of symptoms including:

• hyperorality (putting objects in the mouth)
• hypersexuality
• visual agnosia (difficulty recognizing objects visually)
• and changes in emotion, including placidity and loss of fear and aggression.

These symptoms result from damage to the amygdala, a part of the brain involved in emotional processing and memory consolidation.
