title: Observations on the human rejection behaviour syndrome: Denny-Brown revisited.
abstract: The parietal avoiding-rejection behaviour syndrome, first described by Denny-Brown in the rhesus monkey, has been reported only rarely in humans. Here, we describe a patient with rejection behaviour in the setting of progressive cognitive decline accompanied by cortical myoclonus.
