abstract="Sixteen criteria are discussed regarding a recently proposed new syndrome: Limbic Psychotic Trigger Reaction (LPTR). Included are well-remembered, motiveless, unplanned homicidal acts, committed with flat affect, brief psychosis, and autonomic arousal. LPTR implicates partial limbic seizures, which do not quantitatively impair consciousness and memory. Such seizures are likely &quot;kindled&quot; by highly individualized specific trigger stimuli, reviving past repetitive mild to moderate stresses.<p />",
