title: [Crying provoked by sound stimuli in a case of probable dementia of Alzheimer's type].
abstract: A case of pathological crying elicited only by non-verbal auditory stimulations in a woman with probable dementia of the Alzheimer type is reported. As neuropsychological data available in this case have suggested a greater involvement of left than right temporal cortex, the authors propose that the crying phenomenon could have been explained by a similar inter-hemispheric asymmetry in pathological involvement of the limbic structures.
