Abstract

In everyday life, the successful monitoring of behavior requires continuous updating of the effectiveness of motor acts; one crucial step is becoming aware of the movements one is performing. We studied the anatomical distribution of lesions in right-brain-damaged hemiplegic patients, who obstinately denied their motor impairment, claiming that they could move their paralyzed limbs. Denial was associated with lesions in areas related to the programming of motor acts, particularly Brodmann's premotor areas 6 and 44, motor area 4, and the somatosensory cortex. This association suggests that monitoring systems may be implemented within the same cortical network that is responsible for the primary function that has to be monitored.

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?

  • vPMc lesions induce disorders of bodily awareness, such as anosognosia for hemiplegia and asomatognosia.

    “This proposal fits with the evidence that vPMc lesions induce disorders of bodily awareness, such as anosognosia for hemiplegia (i.e.lack of awareness of motor deficits in the contralesional limbs; Berti et al., 2005) and asomatognosia (i.e.lack of awareness of parts on one's own body; Arzy, Overney, , & Blanke, 2006).”

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.
