TK...re Bobby Knight...... Things are getting Out of Hand Brain Injury Gives Hand a Mind of Its Own LONDON (Reuters) - A rare, poorly understood and often misdiagnosed brain injury is causing sufferers to lose control of a hand so it behaves as if it has a mind of its own, an Italian scientist said Thursday. Dubbed the ``Dr Strangelove Syndrome'' after the character created by the late comedian Peter Sellers in the film of the same name, anarchic hand sufferers have one hand that performs against their will. ``This is a bizarre symptom,'' Professor Sergio Della Sala, of the University of Aberdeen in Scotland, told the British Association for the Advancement of Science festival. ``There are patients with lesions in the frontal lobes of the brain who have one hand that behaves in capricious ways. So one hand performs actions that the patient does not want to perform.'' Because they cannot control what one hand will do, the two hands often end up fighting with each other much like Sellers' Dr Strangelove character. In the 1964 black comedy the wheelchair-bound scientist's hand kept attacking him and going into a Nazi salute which he continually tried to stop with his other hand.
