Question

Answer 1

Lobotomy ( "lobe cutting") The practice of removing a persons brains frontal lobes. Used as a cure for mental illness in early psychiatry. However the side affects were to leave the person in a catatonic state. Used in a sentence: It's highly evident by her actions that Nancy Pielosi suffers from the symptoms of being lobotomized.

Answer 2

lobotomy means a medical operation where a part of the brain is removed to treat mental problems. This was done more commonly in the past.
Lobotomized is the verb form of the word.
He has recently been lobotomized..
Has cooled down from crazy ways.

Answer 3

To make (someone or something) abnormally tranquil or sluggish.

A lobotomy is the operation of cutting the connections to and from, or simply destroying, the prefrontal cortex of the brain.

The prefrontal cortex of the brain is the area of the brain that is thought to be involved in planning complex cognitive behaviors and in the expression of personality and appropriate social behaviour.
Lobotomies have been used in the past to treat a wide range of mental illnesses including schizophrenia, clinical depression, and various anxiety disorders.
The practice had generally ceased by the early 1970s.

Rosemary Kennedy, relative of President John F Kennedy, was given a lobotomy when her father complained to doctors about the young girl’s moodiness and growing interest in boys. The procedure was personally performed by Dr. Freeman. Instead of producing the desired result, however, the lobotomy reduced Rosemary to an infantile mentality that left her incontinent and staring blankly at walls for hours. Her verbal skills were reduced to unintelligible babble. To avoid political scandal, the nature of Rosemary's affliction was hidden by her father for years, described to the public as the result of mental retardation.

So to use it in a sentence it might be said, "Rosemary was a healthy teenager until she was lobotomized."

Answer 4

I didn`t know lobotomised was a word? Usually, one would say..I am having a lobotomy..or they had a lobotomy and I will guess that the breakdown of the word would involve LOBE..of which there are more than one that control the brain (the object of the lobotomy)

Answer 5

lobotomy
1936, coined from lobe (in the brain sense) + medical suffix -tomy, from Gk. tome "a cutting," from temnein "to cut" (see tome). Fig. use is attested from 1953.

After having a lobotomy, certain functions and emotions are eradicated.
Not bad for a greek, eh?
