Pathological lying associated with thalamic dysfunction demonstrated by [99mTc]HMPAO SPECT

JG Modell, JM Mountz and CV Ford
Department of Psychiatry, University of Alabama School of Medicine, Birmingham.

The authors report a case in which pathological lying is associated with right hemithalamic dysfunction as shown by [99mTc]HMPAO SPECT brain scanning. This association has not been demonstrated previously and is noteworthy because it supports the hypothesized roles of the thalamus and associated brain regions in the modulation of behavior and cognition.
