Abstract
Abstracts. Neuropathology and Psychiatry. For about a year now, Jong and Baruk have been researching the effects of bulbocapnin (an alkaloid corydalis cavae) on the locomotor system. Their research revealed that cataleptic phenomena are obtained in cats with medium doses of bulbocapnin. At present (Niederl. Tijschr. 'Geneeskb 1929, I) Jong, Bourguignon and Baruk consider it possible to identify the symptoms obtained from bulbocapnin with Kahlbaum's catatonia, and they no longer speak of bulbocapnin catalepsy, but bulbocapnin catatonia. Large doses of bulbocapnin cause catatonia in humans. Currently, Jong denies the extrapyramidal genesis of suffering; he considers it a consequence of diffuse cerebral poisoning, considering that the motor phenomena here are of cortical origin.
