In a patient with postamputation pain a continuous self-stimulation of the mediothalamic system by a chronic deep brain electrode induced a change in behavior, similar to addiction. At the same time various psychological tests (HAWIE, Benton, Hooper-VOT and concentration tests) were significantly disturbed. After interruption of the deep brain stimulation all induced psychic abnormalities normalized within a few days.
在一名截肢后疼痛患者中，慢性深部脑电极对丘脑内侧系统的持续自我刺激导致了行为改变，类似于成瘾。与此同时，各种心理测试（HAWIE、本顿测试、胡珀 - VOT测试和注意力测试）受到显著干扰。在深部脑刺激中断后，所有诱发的精神异常在几天内恢复正常。
