N2  - 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 "kindled" by highly individualized specific trigger stimuli, reviving past repetitive mild to moderate stresses.<p />
