����ü�����-Bucy syndrome

The behavior has been given a name in medical circles, ����ü�����-Bucy Syndrome, and can cause “abnormalities in memory, social and sexual functioning and idiosyncratic behaviors,” according to the National Organization for Rare Disorders.

Although ����ü�����-Bucy Syndrome relatively rare, it's one of the most notorious neurological causes of a complete breakdown in one's ability to control sexual urges.

It may be awkward enough telling other parents why your preschooler is humping everything in sight—just try rehashing the foregoing description of ����ü�����-Bucy Syndrome to your friends at the day care—but we do tend, as adults, to be mostly forgiving of a child's improprieties.

Dramatic case studies illustrating the devastating effects of ����ü�����-Bucy Syndrome abound in the clinical literature, and they raise intriguing philosophical questions for us to consider.
