  • misidentification syndromes related to face specific area in the fusiform gyrus
    Journal of Neurology Neurosurgery and Psychiatry, 2000
    Co-Authors: Arthur J Hudson, Gloria M Grace
    Abstract:

    The “delusional misidentification syndromes” are a group of uncommon and varied disorders in which, in typical form, the patient thinks that a particular familiar person is someone else or a certain familiar place is a duplicate. Although first identified and considered a memory disorder by Pick, evidence in support of this has been difficult to identify. They have been most often seen in various psychotic and organic brain diseases but lesions have been generally diffuse although the right temporal lobe has been implicated. A patient was investigated who abruptly developed a disorder wherein she misidentified her husband as her deceased sister and claimed that her home was a duplicate of her real home that were typical of Fregoli syndrome and Pick9s reduplicative Paramnesia, respectively. A discrete area of brain damage, probably ischaemic, in this patient was seen on MRI in the anterior part of the right fusiform gyrus and a smaller area in the nearby anterior middle and inferior temporal gyri with associated parahippocampal and hippocampal atrophy. A high order nervous system function that is devoted to the identification of faces is located in the adjacent midportion of the fusiform gyrus and a similar locus for environmental scenes, termed the parahippocampal place area, is present in the bordering parahippocampal gyrus. The misidentification phenomena in this case can be explained by disruption of the connections of these highly specialised areas with the most anterior inferior and medial part of the right temporal lobe where long term memory and mechanisms for the retrieval of information that are required for the visual recognition of faces and scenes are stored.

  • deja vu experiences and reduplicative Paramnesia
    British Journal of Psychiatry, 1992
    Co-Authors: H.n. Sno, D H Linszen, F De Jonghe
    Abstract:

    A schizophrenic patient with different forms of experiences of inappropriate familiarity is described. The authors discuss traumatic experiences as aetiological factors in deja vu experiences and reduplicative Paramnesia. Finally, the differential diagnostic problem in psychotic and dissociative phenomena is stressed.

  • REMINISCENCIAS PROUSTIANAS EN LOS COMIENZOS DE SAER
    Facultad de Ciencias Agrarias y Forestales (UNLP), 2019
    Co-Authors: Moran, María Alma, Pastormerlo Sergio, Merbilhaá Margarita
    Abstract:

    En los comienzos (Said: 1975) de la escritura de Juan José Saer, varios críticos han observado la inquietud de un joven escritor acerca de las posibilidades narrativas para contar una experiencia del mundo vivido y al mismo tiempo, la constante interrogación en torno a la forma en que son percibidos los objetos. Esta etapa "de aprendizaje" (Arce: 2013) entendida como momento de indagación y de búsqueda de un modo de narrar, pareciera manifestar un alto grado de contacto con la obra Marcel Proust. En primer lugar, el interés de Saer por la construcción de un "mundo" o "universo" a la manera de Proust (Gramuglio, 1984) puede advertirse desde sus inicios en el cuento "Las arañas" (1958) y en "Algo se aproxima" (1960), textos que, a su vez, se encuentran vinculados a sus preguntas sobre el modo de narrar la experiencia. En segundo lugar, en "Solas" de En la zona (1960), Saer expresa tempranamente su exploración sobre conceptos como memoria y tiempo. A su vez, en el cuento "El taximetrista" perteneciente a Palo y hueso (1965), tanto el personaje principal como el narrador reponen constantemente los recuerdos vividos. Por último, Unidad de lugar (1967) presenta diversos cuentos que, de forma similar, consideran el tema de la memoria, el tiempo, las reminiscencias y el recuerdo. Por ejemplo, en "Sombras sobre vidrio esmerilado" es fundamental la cuestión del recuerdo en relación al presente y al tiempo; esta inquietud también aparece en "Paramnesia" en donde se observa una incesante reflexión sobre el recuerdo. Intentaremos rastrear, algunas de las posibles relaciones (explícitas e implícitas) entre En busca del tiempo perdido y los comienzos escriturales del proyecto narrativo de Saer

  • Charles bonnet's description of cotard's delusion and reduplicative Paramnesia in an elderly patient 1788
    British Journal of Psychiatry, 1992
    Co-Authors: Hans Förstl, Barbara Beats
    Abstract:

    An elderly woman developed the delusion that she was dead ('Cotard's delusion') and that she was in another place ('reduplicative Paramnesia'). Charles Bonnet reported this unique combination of symptoms a century before Cotard's influential description of the nihilistic delusions and of Pick's description of 'reduplicative Paramnesia'.

  • Psychiatric, neurological and medical aspects of misidentification syndromes: a review of 260 cases.
    Psychological Medicine, 1991
    Co-Authors: Hans Förstl, Osvaldo P. Almeida, Adrian M. Owen, Alistair Burns, Robert Howard
    Abstract:

    Two hundred and sixty case reports of misidentification syndromes were evaluated. One hundred and seventy-four patients had a Capgras syndrome misidentifying other persons, 18 a Fregoli syndrome, 11 intermetamorphosis, 17 reduplicative Paramnesia and the rest had other forms or combinations of mistaken identification. Schizophrenia (127 cases), mostly of paranoid type, affective disorder (29), and organic mental syndromes including dementia (46) were the most common diagnoses in patients who misidentified others or themselves. The patients with reduplicative Paramnesia more frequently suffered from head trauma or cerebral infarction and showed more features of right hemisphere lesions on neuropsychological testing or CT scan than the patients with other misidentification syndromes. Forty-one case-reports implicated underlying medical conditions. Forty-six of the patients were reported to show violent behaviour. The misidentification of persons can be a manifestation of any organic or functional psychosis, but the misidentification of place is frequently associated with neurological diseases, predominantly of the right hemisphere. Misidentification syndromes show a great degree of overlap and do not represent distinctive syndromes nor can they be regarded as an expression of a particular disorder. These patients deserve special diagnostic and therapeutic attention because of the possible underlying disorders and their potentially dangerous behaviour.

  • Space-related confabulations after right hemisphere damage
    Cortex, 2017
    Co-Authors: Paolo Di Bartolomeo, Stefania De Vito, Tal Seidel Malkinson
    Abstract:

    Confabulations are usually referred to memory distortions, characterized by the production of verbal statements or actions that are inconsistent with the patient’s history and present situation. However, behavioral patterns reminiscent of memory confabulations can also occur in patients with right hemisphere damage, in relation to their personal, peripersonal or extrapersonal space. Thus, such patients may be unaware of their left hemiplegia and confabulate about it (anosognosia), deny the ownership of their left limbs (somatoparaphrenia), insult and hit them (misoplegia), or experience a “third”, supernumerary left limb. Right brain-damaged patients can also sometimes confabulate about the left, neglected part of images presented in their peripersonal space, or believe to be in another place (reduplicative Paramnesia). We review here these instances of confabulation occurring after right hemisphere damage, and propose that they might reflect, at least partially, the attempts of the left hemisphere to make sense of inappropriate input received from the damaged right hemisphere.
