Neuromimesis in a County Court Compensation Case
The term neuromimesis describes a mixed condition of mimicked nervous symptoms and hysteria seen in a workman in a compensation case. It arises when a temporarily injured person, after a mental shock, continues to feel pain and disability as the mind expects cure, with semi involuntary movements. A schoolroom variant shows rapid imitation among children, with the mimicry fading after the imitator is removed.
