Verbal asomatognosia is a form of neglect in which a patient denies ownership of a limb contralateral to a brain lesion. To establish the neuroanatomic substrate of this syndrome, we analyzed the CTs of 12 right-hemisphere stroke patients with neglect and verbal asomatognosia and 4 patients with neglect but without asomatognosia. Of 16 cortical and subcortical brain regions analyzed, supramarginal gyrus and its subcortical connections within posterior corona radiata were most consistently involved in the asomatognosia cases. One or both of these regions were spared in all cases of neglect without asomatognosia. Our data confirm Nielsen's localization of asomatognosia to the right supramarginal gyrus and thalamoparietal peduncle. Converging lines of evidence from experiments in humans and monkeys suggest that damage to area PF may be necessary for the production of personal neglect of a limb.

D001921 Brain The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM. Encephalon
D002561 Cerebrovascular Disorders A spectrum of pathological conditions of impaired blood flow in the brain. They can involve vessels (ARTERIES or VEINS) in the CEREBRUM, the CEREBELLUM, and the BRAIN STEM. Major categories include INTRACRANIAL ARTERIOVENOUS MALFORMATIONS; BRAIN ISCHEMIA; CEREBRAL HEMORRHAGE; and others.

D006429 Hemiplegia Severe or complete loss of motor function on one side of the body. This condition is usually caused by BRAIN DISEASES that are localized to the cerebral hemisphere opposite to the side of weakness. Less frequently, BRAIN STEM lesions; cervical SPINAL CORD DISEASES; PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DISEASES; and other conditions may manifest as hemiplegia. The term hemiparesis (see PARESIS) refers to mild to moderate weakness involving one side of the body.
