Abstract

The use of anterior cingulectomy in the treatment of certain mental disorders gave us the opportunity of studying in a small group of patients, whose basic personality was unaffected by their illness, the changes which may follow lesions of this area.This paper is concerned with a report of six such cases.

  • Informal reports and formal assessments often indicate preserved cognition after anterior cingulotomy, although transient confusion, disorientation, and memory loss can occur.

    “Both informal reports (Tow and Whitty, 1953; Turner, 1973) and formal assessments (Cohen et al., 1999a,b; Corkin, 1980) often indicate preserved cognition, although transient confusion, disorientation, and memory loss can occur (Dougherty et al., 2003; Sharim and Pouratian, 2016; Whitty and Lewin, 1960).”

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.
