[How frequently is a headache the expression of endogenous depression?].

In a period of nine months, all patients referred for purely neurological assessment of headache were fully examined both neurologically and psychiatrically. In 68 of 148 patients the cardinal symptom of headache was found to be the expression of an endogenous depression (46%). This diagnosis was based on the presence of an endogenomorphic-depressive axis syndrome (as classified by Berger), follow-up observations, and the efficacy of antidepressive drug treatment. Neurological and other physical underlying illness was excluded.

[Stereotyped movements and autonomous rhythms].

The present study is concerned with the pathogenesis of jactatio capitis, of the stereotyped movements of oligophrenics, of dements, and of long-stay hospitalized defect schizophrenics, as well as with stereotyped movements in domestic animals. This leads to a discussion of the significance of rhythmically alternating innervation for pathological and normal movements. The relevance of rhythmic events for movements in inanimate systems is emphasized and the analogies which exist between movement in the organic and in the inorganic sphere are pointed out.
