The Occurrence of the Grasping Reflex in the Post-Convulsive Stage of Electrically Induced Seizures and its Behaviour in Various Mental Diseases
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 08 February 2018
Extract
The therapeutic procedure of electrically induced convulsions provides a rare opportunity of studying experimental convulsive states in man and their accompanying reflex phenomena, many of which are of great importance in neurological diagnosis. Among the many interesting motor manifestations appearing during the post-convulsive stage is the grasping reflex, which has previously been observed only in certain structural disorders of the brain, usually of the frontal lobes.
