Chapter 154
[Prefrontal lobectomy was popular in the 30s and mid-60s of the 20th century, and its inventor, Dr. Moniz, even won the Nobel Prize in Medicine for it. 】
[The cause of the incident was in 1935.] 】
[An academic report on "The ferocity of chimpanzees can be removed by prefrontal lobotomy" was presented at a conference. 】
[The chimpanzee would have shown frustration and remorse for making a mistake before the prefrontal lobotectomy, but after the prefrontal lobotectomy, the orangutan would no longer show such emotions.] 】
[Immediately, Moniz and his partner Fuman had a bold idea. 】
[They continued to conduct some animal experiments on the basis of the research results of their predecessors and found that the dogs with their prefrontal lobes removed became very quiet. 】
[Thus, the theory that the prefrontal lobe is responsible for controlling the "reason" in the brain was derived. 】
[Later, Moniz and his partners began experimenting with psychopaths, and achieved some sense of "success".] 】
[In the first human experiments~. 】
[They drilled holes in the patient's skull and poured alcohol into the prefrontal lobes, killing this part of the cerebral cortex with the toxicological reaction of ethanol.] 】
[The destruction of the prefrontal lobe has indeed made the state of the mentally ill have undergone visible changes. 】
[The patient said it nicely and became reticent.] 】
[To put it mildly, it is to become the walking dead. 】
[But compared to the patient's previous hysterical state, the quiet state is simply too rare.] 】
[For those family members who have been working hard to care for and treat patients for many years, the strong contrast gives them a lot of confidence. 】
[Prefrontal lobotomy surgery saved the peace of the family to some extent.] 】
[Coupled with the fact that there was no better way to cure mental illness at that time, the media frantically promoted it, and this technology was quickly promoted.] 】
【......】
[After this, Moniz's partner Fuman further improved the prefrontal lobotomy.] 】
[Originally, prefrontal lobectomy was to drill a hole in the skull, and then use a large needle to extract part of the brain tissue. 】
[Instead of making a hole in the skull, the new technology opts for a less invasive method – an ice pick is inserted through the patient's eye socket and used to cut off the white matter that connects the prefrontal cortex to the thalamus through the slow movement of the ice pick.] 】
[Strict Dr. Fuman, prescribe SOP for this surgery.] 】
[The tools used, the position and angle of insertion into the eye socket, and how to find and cut off the white matter are all strictly specified.] 】
[It improves the accuracy of the operation, reduces the time spent on the operation, and also avoids the patient from dying due to brain opening and wound infection.] 】
[This modified procedure is also known as "ice pick therapy.] 】
[In this regard, the "ice pick therapy" epidemic in Europe officially kicked off. 】
[With the popularity of surgery, especially after the advent of "ice pick therapy", the situation has become worse. 】
[While the patient's psychotic symptoms have been reduced, serious sequelae have also appeared. 】
[These patients have their higher-order thinking activities disrupted, and they have become like the walking dead, docile, lethargic, dull, indifferent, listless, unpossessed, dull, and at the mercy of others. 】
[Since then, he has lived in endless nothingness all his life. 】
[One mother even described her daughter who had an anterior lobotomy this way: "My daughter has become a different person entirely, her body is still with me, but her soul is gone."] "】
【Effects of lobotomy:】
Although the goal of lobotomies is to alleviate the patient's mental health symptoms and improve their functioning, the results are often not ideal. 】
[Some patients do improve their condition and are able to live independently.] 】
[However, many more are affected by changes in behavior, emotional problems, and lack of impulse control, and become dysfunctional, emotionally numb, and apathetic.] 】
[In some cases, lobotomy can also be fatal.] 】
[Serious risks include:]
[Brain infection, changes in language ability, cognitive impairment, loss of bladder and bowel control, muscle weakness, personality changes...]
[Some people report experiencing severe pain during the procedure, while others report having no memory of the procedure at all.] 】
[According to statistics, doctors in the United States have performed about 40,000 such surgeries, about 3,500 in Fuman's lifetime, about 17,000 in the country, and about 9,300 in the three Nordic countries. 】
[Some of those who have undergone surgery do not need to have a prefrontal lobotomy at all.] 】
[Among them are women who do not listen to their husbands, children diagnosed with ADHD, a pandemic of surgery has brought great blindness, and many have been easily buried for a lifetime. 】
【......】
[After that, more people began to reflect.] 】
[After the publication of the book "Flying Over the Asylum", a series of campaigns against the abuse of electric shock therapy and the abuse of the mentally ill were launched in Europe and the United States, and legal provisions restricting the power of the psychiatric hospitals were passed, and the living conditions of the mentally ill were greatly improved. 】
[In many film and television works, such as the famous movies "One Flew Over the Asylum", "Shutter Island" and "Pretty Girl Special Strike Team", and the rice drama "Rice Country Horror Story" and "Westworld", there is this kind of surgery. 】
[In the mid-50s of the 20th century, scientists developed more effective antipsychotics and antidepressants, and more and more people refused to perform lobotomy. 】
[Today's treatment of severe psychosis usually focuses on psychotherapy, medication, or a combination of both.] 】
[The specific regimen depends on a variety of factors, including the symptoms a person is experiencing, the nature of the diagnosis, and the severity of the symptoms.] 】
【......】
After reading it, the ancient people only felt a chill coming from the top of their heads.
It's scary!
"Hole in the top of your head, pull your brain out!?"
"God! People can still live when their brains are withdrawn! It's just that they have become fools, it's so pitiful. "
"It's over, I'm so scared that my legs are weak, and I don't listen to the call. "
"Ice pick therapy, don't draw your brain, change it to cut your brain, what kind of torture is this, what crime have they committed?"
“......"
Qin Dynasty.
Hu Hai blinked twice.
Strange knowledge has increased!
"It turns out that cutting out some brains can make people become puppets like walking corpses. "
He was eager to find someone to experiment with.
Fortunately, no one knew what he was thinking, otherwise he would have stayed away from this second ancestor.
Ying Zheng was a little surprised in his heart, "It's a way to cure diseases, but it can lead to so many consequences!"
It turns out that he also wants to spread the treatment of mental illness to the Qin Dynasty.
Now it seems that it is better to forget it.
But it doesn't hurt to write it down, it can be a warning to future generations.
Let them go straight to other treatments.
Han dynasty.
Liu Bang looked a little frightened.
"Stick an awl into your eye socket..."
"Stir back and forth, cut off part of the brain..." (read the violent novel, go to the Feilu Novel Network!)
Just by looking at the text description, he can imagine how penetrating the scene was at that time!
Feeling empathy, both of his eyes were a little sour.
And this is the kind of treatment that seeps into people, and it is used on tens of thousands of people.
Three Kingdoms period.
Hua Tuo, who was about to meet Cao Cao, stopped again.
Just stared at the sky for a moment.
His expression became agitated, and he shouted, "Good way! Stick an ice pick into the eye socket and you don't have to open your skull." "
Cao Cao wanted to kill himself.
It's nothing more than that he thinks his craniotomy proposal is too unreliable and much like murder.
But if you don't open the skull and replace it with an ice pick that pierces through the eye socket, you won't be able to use a sharp axe.
The security aspect is more secure.
However, soon another conundrum arose.
Hua Tuo stroked his beard and groaned, "Just how do you find the location of the 'wind saliva' in your head?"
You don't have to think about it to know that if you don't open the head, it must be dark inside.
He couldn't see it either.
Ming dynasty.
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up.
Boy.
Another criminal law for punishing corrupt officials can be added!
Zhu Yuanzhang's mind moved, and he muttered: "You are not afraid of peeling the skin and grass now, let's let people turn you into fools, and then parade you on the street." "
"In this way, the officials and people of the whole city can see the end of corruption!"
"Hmm..."
"After the parade, I will be sent back to my hometown. "
"Let the fellow villagers of corrupt officials also see the consequences of corruption in the Ming Dynasty. "
The more Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it, the more he felt that this approach was reliable!
More deterrent than ordinary torture!
After all, no matter how harsh the criminal law is, it can only make people miserable for a while, but if you turn people into fools, you can deter others for a lifetime!
Another dynasty.
Zhu Di was shocked.
He has also seen on the battlefield that some people have been hit the head a few times and have become fools, and some have even been unable to take care of themselves and rely on others to take care of them.
At the time, he didn't know why.
After the light curtain introduced the anterior lobectomy surgery, he now understood.
He couldn't help but touch his head with his hand, no wonder people subconsciously want to protect it when they encounter danger.
