Abstract
MONTANES, PATRICIA and QUINTERO, ELIANA. ANOSOGNOSIA IN ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE: A CLINICAL APPROACH FOR THE STUDY OF CONSCIOUSNESS. rev.latinoam.psicol. [online]. 2007, vol.39, n.1, pp.63-73. ISSN 0120-0534.
In this article we will analyse the possibility of studying consciousness and the related brain structures, considering the data from patients with awareness deficits. We describe a clinical syndrome in which the patient loses the knowledge of his/her physical and/or cognitive state, called anosognosia. The article emphasises the description of this important syndrome in Alzheimer's Disease.
Keywords : consciousness; anosognosia; Alzheimer disease.
