We should de-emphasize the importance of the role we give amines in the LH syndrome.
Once amines were implicated in the lateral hypothalamic syndrome, it became accepted that the dominant cause of many of its symptoms was an alteration in amines. We suggest that corticofugal fiber damage may produce some of the behavioral symptoms usually attributed to amine alterations.
