title: Kissing or "osculation" in frontotemporal dementia.
abstract: The authors investigated the neuropsychiatry of kissing in frontotemporal dementia. Among 15 patients, two had compulsive social kissing, bitemporal involvement, and Klüver-Bucy symptoms, and four pursued kissing with sexually disinhibited behavior. Future research should clarify the neuropsychiatric significance of kissing behavior.
