| Abstract | The preserved «implicit awareness » in patients with Alzheimer disease (AD) presenting anosognosia has opened a new branch of research regarding explicit-implicit integration. The behavioral variant of frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD), contrary to AD, would present impaired anosognosia-related implicit awareness due to a dysfunctional implicit integration of contextual information caused by an abnormal fronto-insular-temporal network. Loss of insight and anosognosia are pervasive in bvFTD, but no reports have assessed the implicit emotional awareness in this condition. We emphasize the need to investigate and extend our knowledge of implicit contextual integration impairments and their relation with anosognosia in bvFTD vs AD. |
| Otra información | En este trabajo proponemos que la bvFTD presenta una alteración de la «implicit awarenessâ asociada a anosognosia. Ello estaría generado por a una integración implícita disfuncional de información contextual, causada por una red fronto-insular temporal anormal. Proponemos una nueva agenda para investigar el efecto de la integración implícita contextual en la anosognosia, tanto en bvFTD como en otras demencias. |
