Anosognosia-Linked Brain Network Connections 2023
Anosognosia, when a patient is ignorant of a neurological or psychological impairment, is connected to brain network connections. Lesion network mapping was used to examine 267 lesion locations connected to visual loss or paralysis and determine if these abnormalities affect certain brain networks.
They found distinct network connections connected to visual and motor anosognosia and a common network for awareness of these impairments, focusing on the hippocampus and precuneus. These brain regions compare visual inputs to memory to detect a deficiency.
A new Annals of Neurology study related brain network connections to anosognosia, a disease where a person is oblivious of their neurological or psychological impairment. Lesion network mapping was utilized to assess if 267 lesion loc...
