We report 2 patients who developed a neglect syndrome, anosognosia, and major depression immediately after a right hemisphere cerebrovascular lesion. These cases demonstrate that neglect, anosognosia, and major depression may coexist in the same patient, and that the presence of anosognosia does not preclude the patient's recognition of emotional impairment.

Background: Anosognosia or lack of insight is a common feature of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and associated disorders. It is an impairment in the ability to recognize the disease and related symptoms. Anosognosia is associated among patients with poor compensatory strategies, behavioral disorders, apathy and caregiver burden.

The analytical and experimental investigation of several targets and biomarkers that help in explaining significant cognitive deficits, covering drug development and precision medicine aimed at different chronic neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease, synaptic dysfunction, brain damage from neuronal apoptosis, and other disease pathologies; this served as the foundation for all phase studies. The focus of current therapeutic approaches is on developing humanized antibodies, agonist and antagonist drugs, receptors, signaling molecules, major targeted drug-metabolizing enzymes, and other metabolites to treat neurodegeneration in the AD brain brought on by tau hyperphosphorylation, amyloid plagues, or other cholinergic effects. The five A's-amnesia, agnosia, aphasia, apraxia, and anomia-are the typical symptoms associated with AD.

Background: Alexia without agraphia (AWA) is an acquired reading disturbance associated with left posterior cerebral artery (PCA) infarction. Based on autopsy and neuroimaging, there are two explanations for its pathogenesis: a visual cortex-language cortex disconnection and a visual word-form agnosia. Our goal was to discover if more refined brain imaging in a case-control study would provide further imaging support for either of these hypotheses.

Previous studies have found that face perception deficits do not fully account for the severity of face recognition deficits in developmental prosopagnosia (DP). Researchers have begun identifying deficient memory mechanisms such as impaired face recollection, but these findings require replication, and further characterization of additional memory deficits is necessary. Our goals were to replicate prior findings of face recollection impairment in DP and extend these findings to assess different types of face associative memory.
