Autotopagnosia. Occurrence in a patient without nominal aphasia and with an intact ability to point to parts of animals and objects

OGDEN, JENNI A.·1985·Brain

Abstract

A patient with a metastasis in the left parietal lobe demonstrated difficulty in pointing to body parts although he could name them when they were pointed to by someone else. As he had no nominal aphasia, could understand complex verbal instructions and could correctly describe the functions of named body parts, his autotopagnosia is unlikely to be a result of a category-specific comprehension deficit. As he is able to point to parts of objects, plants and animals on command, his disorder is also unlikely to be part of a general inability to analyse a whole into its details. Instead, his difficulty appears to be one of locating body parts in relation to the whole body. Such a disorder provides support for the existence of a discrete body image that can be disrupted by a lesion of the left parietal lobe.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Patients with PPc lesions are strongly impaired when performing tasks requiring on-line coding of body posture, when attending to body parts on the left in the case of a right lesion, and when describing the spatial relations between body parts in the case of a left lesion.

    “Patients with PPc lesions are strongly impaired when performing tasks requiring on-line coding of body posture (Schwoebel & Coslett, 2005), when attending to body parts on the left in the case of a right lesion (i.e.personal neglect; Committeri et al., 2007) and when describing the spatial relations between body parts in the case of a left lesion (i.e.autotopagnosia; Ogden, 1985).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
