Etiopathogenic theories of nervous system diseases in Vilnius in the early 19th century: “insanity and epilepsy exacerbate when the moonlight shines” by E. Sakalauskaitė-Juodeikienė

“…To describe the etiopathogenesis of spinal cord diseases, the concept of “diminishing vital spirits through the loss of bodily matter” was used (it was claimed, e.g., that excessive number of sexual intercourses dried out the spinal cord). In addition, the astrological causes of NS diseases were also believed to be of great importance (“somnambulism, insanity, and epilepsy exacerbate when the moonlight shines”). …”
