Luria's frontal lobe syndrome: psychological and anatomical considerations.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Luria has described a syndrome of disinhibited and impulsive behaviour, in which the patient is unable to follow sequential instructions. This he attributes to localised frontal lobe damage. However, group studies of patients with focal lesions of the frontal lobes fail to reveal such a syndrome. A patient is described who displayed a form of Luria's syndrome temporarily. Psychometric and post mortem evidence indicate that the syndrome arises only under conditions of more global cerebral dysfunction.

Cognitive deficits from a cerebellar tumour: a historical case report from Luria's Laboratory.
In 1964 an original case report from A.R. Luria's Laboratory of Neuropsychology was published in Cortex, being one of the first to draw a link between cerebellum and cognition, by highlighting the manifestation of 'pseudo-frontal' symptoms resulting from a cerebellar tumour. The findings of Luria and his team seem more consistent with modern views about cerebellar interactions with the frontal ...
متن کاملDisorganized behavior on Link's cube test is sensitive to right hemispheric frontal lobe damage in stroke patients
One of Luria's favorite neuropsychological tasks for challenging frontal lobe functions was Link's cube test (LCT). The LCT is a cube construction task in which the subject must assemble 27 small cubes into one large cube in such a manner that only the painted surfaces of the small cubes are visible. We computed two new LCT composite scores, the constructive plan composite score, reflecting the...
متن کاملRelation of anosognosia to frontal lobe dysfunction in Alzheimer's disease.
A self-rating scale of memory functions was administered to 24 non-depressed patients with probable Alzheimer's disease, divided into two groups according to the overall severity of dementia (mild, mini-mental state (MMS) > 21; moderate, MMS between 10 and 20). These groups did not significantly differ in their self-rating of memory functions. The same questionnaire was submitted to a member of...
متن کاملThe frontal dementias
The frontal variant of frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is an important cause of early-onset dementia. Yet, despite the publication of consensus criteria in 1998, the diagnosis is often delayed. In part, this seems to stem from a lack of appreciation of the variability in behavioural and neuropsychological features found in the FTD’s, and in part from over-reliance on structural neuroimaging. This...
متن کامل[Clinical-neuropsychological study of patients with hematomas, cavernomas and arteriovenous malformations of the brain stem].
A clinical-neuropsychological study of 25 patients with hematomas, cavernomas and arteriovenous malformations of different brain stem regions has been performed. Patients with hydrocephalic-hypertensive and dislocation syndromes as well as a history of neurological diseases were excluded from the study. All patients had hemorrhages in different brain stem regions, most of which had occurred sev...
