Hysterical "epidemics" of "epilepsy" are well known in Eastern and Western cultures. A unique situation in the United States in the 19th and 20th centuries was the American religious movement, the setting in which "the jerks" occurred. Descriptions of various types of "jerks," including dancing, barking, laughing exercise, running exercise, and singing

Optometry and Vision Science, 1979
Eye movements in a subject with jerk nystagmus were recorded during a variety of tracking tasks using a photoelectric method. New findings included ability to reduce nystagmus amplitude and frequency when instructed "to hold the eye steady" rather than "to fixate" in the presence of a visible target, changes in nystagmus characteristics and visual ...

Archives of Neurology & Psychiatry, 1931
The literature contains numerous accounts of the effects on the thoracic and abdominal viscera of stimulation of the exteroceptors. There are, however, few accounts of the effects on the neuromuscular apparatus of stimulation of the interoceptors. The early meager literature is referred to in a study of skeletal reflexes induced by stimulation of the ...

Neurology, 1982
Abnormal saccadic intrusions consisting of frequent sporadic horizontal saccades followed, after an interval, by corrective saccades occurred in 70% of 17 patients with acute or chronic focal cerebral lesions. These square wave jerks were significantly lower in amplitude than those in cerebellar system disease.

Developing knee-jerk reactions
Trends in Cognitive Sciences, 2002It's a strange feeling, sitting on the examining table in a doctor's office and watching the tiny hammer strike beneath the kneecap, initiating a sharp kick of one's lower leg. The physiological mechanisms may or may not be understood by the patient, but there is certainly no doubt, even to someone passively observing this scenario, that the cause of ...
