Alzheimer disease (AD) is characterized by episodic memory impairment. This study was aimed at assessing various aspects of episodic memory, and particularly sensitivity to semantic cuing, in patients with various degrees of cognitive deterioration, compared with normal elderly subjects. One hundred thirty-one patients, subdivided into four subgroups as a function of their Mini-Mental State Examination score, were included. All subjects, including 20 normal elderly subject, were given an episodic memory test with controlled encoding and selective reminding. The subgroups of patients were homogeneous in terms of free recall and recognition, but differed in terms of responsiveness to cuing by semantic categories corresponding to the to-be-remembered items. The data confirmed that a severe amnesic syndrome occurs very early in AD, even in a subgroup of patients who did not meet the criteria for dementia. The data indicated that free recall performance, characterized in all subgroups by a floor effect, is not likely to be an appropriate index in pharmacological trials. By contrast, sensitivity to semantic cuing seemed relatively preserved in the early stages, and decreased with the progression of the disease. This index would be the most sensitive index of episodic memory in AD.

The case of a young woman with a disorder involving Capgras syndrome, Frégoli syndrome, intermetamorphosis, and the subjective-doubles syndrome is reported. Neuropsychological assessment showed a low efficiency in the complex visuospatial organization tasks and in non-verbal memory. MRI found a left lenticular hypodensity, and two PET scans performed in the symptomatic and recovered states showed significant changes and asymmetries in cerebral glucose metabolism in the frontal, parietal, and subcortical regions. These findings are discussed with respect to recent models of delusional misidentification syndromes.

BACKGROUND: Recently described neuronal intermediate filament inclusion disease (NIFID) shows considerable clinical heterogeneity. OBJECTIVE: To assess the spectrum of the clinical and neuropathological features in 10 NIFID cases. METHODS: Retrospective chart and comprehensive neuropathological review of these NIFID cases was conducted. RESULTS: The mean age at onset was 40.8 (range 23 to 56) years, mean disease duration was 4.5 (range 2.7 to 13) years, and mean age at death was 45.3 (range 28 to 61) years. The most common presenting symptoms were behavioral and personality changes in 7 of 10 cases and, less often, memory loss, cognitive impairment, language deficits, and motor weakness. Extrapyramidal features were present in 8 of 10 patients. Language impairment, perseveration, executive dysfunction, hyperreflexia, and primitive reflexes were frequent signs, whereas a minority had buccofacial apraxia, supranuclear ophthalmoplegia, upper motor neuron disease (MND), and limb dystonia. Frontotemporal and caudate atrophy were common. Histologic changes were extensive in many cortical areas, deep gray matter, cerebellum, and spinal cord. The hallmark lesions of NIFID were unique neuronal IF inclusions detected most robustly by antibodies to neurofilament triplet proteins and alpha-internexin. CONCLUSION: NIFID is a neuropathologically distinct, clinically heterogeneous variant of frontotemporal dementia (FTD) that may include parkinsonism or MND. Neuronal IF inclusions are the neuropathological signatures of NIFID that distinguish it from all other FTD variants including FTD with MND and FTD tauopathies.

A dysexecutive syndrome is observed not only in frontotemporal lobar degeneration, but also in subcortical degenerative diseases, and even in Alzheimer's disease whose lesions predominate in temporoparietal associative areas. The association between a dysexecutive syndrome and various cerebral localisations may be explained by the fact that cognitive and behavioral organisation recruits anatomofunctional frontostriatal and frontoparietal circuits. Both animal experimentation and human clinical observation argue in favour of a functional continuity and complementarity among these loops. The prefrontal cortex would be particularly needed in new situations, to inhibit old programs of action not adapted to the present context and to elaborate new ones; the basal ganglia would be rather required by the repetition of the situation to progressively transform the new program in routine. If we refer to Shallice model, we can hypothesize that optimal executive functions require the preservation not only of the Supervisory Attentional System, mainly dependent on the prefrontal cortex, but also of the Contention Scheduling, recruiting the basal ganglia, and of the Schemas of Action, represented in parietal and premotor areas. Therefore, the neuropsychological assessment of patients with degenerative diseases contributes to the understanding of the anatomofunctional architecture of executive functions.

To investigate the role of the prefrontal cortex in conscious monitoring, we used an experimental paradigm generating a conflict between the action planned and the sensory-motor feedback. We analyzed the acquisition of explicit knowledge of the strategy for resolving the conflict and its influence on motor adaptation. Twenty patients with frontal lobe lesions and 18 controls had to trace a sagittal line with a stylus on a graphics tablet. A mirror on which the traced line, processed by a computer, was projected hid the hand. A mask limited visual feedback to the last third of the trajectory. Without informing the subjects, the line traced was modified by introducing a bias of 24 degrees to the right. To succeed in the task, subjects had to modify their motor program and to deviate their trajectory in the opposite direction. Conscious elaboration of the strategy was evaluated by the number of trials needed to explicitly report the required deviation. Three groups of patients were distinguished: (1). with normal explicit strategy; (2). with delayed explicit strategy, and (3). without explicit strategy at the last trial. They significantly differed by the severity of the dysexecutive syndrome, particularly of environmental adherence. Motor adaptation was evaluated by the area between the line traced and the ideal line to compensate for the deviation. In patients with normal elaboration of the strategy, motor control was similar to that of controls, but it was severely disturbed in the other two groups. These results suggest the involvement of the prefrontal cortex in conscious motor monitoring.

Consensus criteria have been recently proposed to improve clinical identification of frontotemporal dementia, non fluent progressive aphasia and semantic dementia (Neary et al., 1998). However, clinical observations show that these syndromes may overlap, underlying the value of the more generic entity of frontotemporal lobar degeneration.

In this review, we argue that a number of current data support the notion that the hippocampal formations play an important role in episodic memory in humans. We will focus on data gathered from three topics within this field: (1) the neuropsychological study of memory in degenerative diseases, which provides striking dissociations of processes, as a function of the location of cerebral lesions and of their functional consequences; (2) the description of patients' memory difficulties after unilateral medial temporal lobectomy. Given the visuo-verbal dissociation, we may anticipate that the study of the effects of such lesions may help in the understanding of the role of the hippocampus in memory, in terms of: (i) the stage of memory processing where the hippocampus is really involved (encoding, consolidation and/or retrieval); (ii) the specificity of the impairments as a function of the nature (verbal vs. visuo-spatial) of the to-be-remembered material; (3) recent evidence from imaging studies: (i) the morphological approach, which provides interesting information with the study of correlations between the volumes of diverse cerebral regions-particularly the volume of the hippocampus-and episodic memory performance and other cognitive measures; (ii) metabolic studies, using PET scan, which were first designed for correlational analyses between performance in episodic memory tasks and glucose utilization at rest in diverse regions of interest, such as the hippocampal formations; (iii) activation studies with PET and functional MRI, which are actually more straightforward, since they allow correlations between the metabolism in regions of interest and performance on line (e.g. during encoding or retrieval of information). In our view, inasmuch as such different approaches-degenerative diseases, lesions or imagery-provide convergent information, they give renewed weight to the notion according to which the hippocampal formations are critically concerned in episodic memory processes.

To ascertain whether variations in central dopaminergic transmission can differentially affect motor and cognitive processing, we studied the effects of apomorphine (APO) in 9 patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). The UPDRS motor scores and auditory event-related potentials (ERPs) obtained in the 'odd-ball' (OB) and in the 'covert orientation of attention' (COA) tasks were studied in the 'off' and in the 'on' state after an injection of APO. Although APO injection improved patients' motor status, it induced a significant increase in the latencies of the P2 and P3 ERP components in the OB. In the COA task, right-hand reaction times (RTs) were markedly shortened in the 'on' state while left hand RTs remained unchanged. The contrasting effects of dopaminergic stimulation on the motor performance and on some aspects of cognitive processing suggest the existence of complex interactions within pre- and postsynaptic brain dopamine receptors, and an intervention of segregated basal ganglia-prefrontal cortex loops in motor and cognitive behaviour.

Although the existence of atrophy of the anterior part of the brain has been known for a long time (Pick, 1892), the interest for fronto-temporal dementias (DFT) is relatively recent. Several excellent reviews have been recently published on the topic (Gustafson, 1993; Neary and Snowden, 1996; Pasquier et al., 1998) and, for that reason, we only recall the main aspects of the disease to insist on some lesser known features, illustrated by original observations.

Psychiatric Status Rating Scales ,Brain Diseases ,Alzheimer Disease ,Humans ,Neuropsychological Tests ,Cognition Disorders - Abstract
Although observed in various brain disorders, dementia is particularly frequent in neurodegenerative diseases. Alzheimer's disease is characterized by the association of progressive amnesia with either instrumental (aphasia, apraxia, agnosia) or behavioral (apathy, indifference, anosognosia) disorders, depending upon the location of the underlying neuronal lesions. By contrast, memory, linguistic, praxic, visuo-spatial or comportemental impairments are dissociated in more focal "lobar" atrophies, while planning and retrieval deficits predominate in movement disorders with dementia. Alzheimer's and non-Alzheimer's neurodegenerative diseases can therefore be distinguished insofar as the severity and location of the associated neuronal lesions differ. Dementia may be observed in various brain diseases, either vascular, metabolic, demyelinating, traumatic, infectious, inflammatory, neoplastic or hydrocephalus (Chui, 1989). It is particularly frequent in neurodegenerative diseases. The recent clinical description of focal lobar atrophies (Weintraub and Mesulam, 1993) and the analysis of cognitive impairment observed in diseases with movement disorders (Cummings and Benson, 1984) have changed the conception of dementia, that may no more be defined as a global deterioration of higher cortical functions. The relative specificity of the cognitive picture of each disease depends on the location of the underlying neuronal lesions. Together with other tools, such as the neurological examination or the functional imagery, the neuropsychological exam may contribute to characterize the clinical picture of a patient with non-Alzheimer's degenerative disease and therefore to determine a clinical diagnosis, that remains probable till the neuropathological confrontation.

In 1981, the first modern case of mental manifestations of bilateral lesions of the basal ganglia was reported (Laplane et al; 1981). Two years ago, in the preceding IBAGS meeting, 12 similar cases were presented confirming the initial description. Whatever the nature of the basal ganglia lesions (wasp sting, anoxia, carbon oxide poisoning, disulfiram intoxication and trauma), the same mental syndrome was observed that associated in variable proportions 1) a loss of psychic self activation and 2) obsessive compulsive behaviours or motor stereotypies. Loss of psychic self activation is characterised by a behavioural inertia that is reversed by an environmental demand: the patient may remain without any activity for hours but he feels no impression of boring himself. In the most complete cases, the patient describes a sensation of mental emptiness, without loss of consciousness. This motor and mental akinesia contrasts with a normal or near normal behaviour when the patient is stimulated. An affective reactivity is also present but the reaction does not last and the patient returns quickly to his usual indifference. Obsessive compulsive behaviours may be purely mental, very similar to these occurring in OCT or remain limited to elementary mental counting. They may be motor, including movements of snapping or licking the fingers or mixed, the repetitive movement pacing the mental counting. Since the first publication, several papers have described the same troubles following pallidal (Ali cherif et al. 1984; Strub et al. 1989) and also frontal (Laplane et al. 1988), striatal (Habib et Poncet 1988) and thalamic lesions (Bogousslavsky et al. 1991), demonstrating the involvement in mental auto-activation and in control and inhibition of motor or purely mental programs of a fronto-frontal loop passing through the basal ganglia and thalamus.

The diagnosis of Huntington's disease (HD) in patients with progressive chorea and mental impairment, but without similarly affected relatives, remains uncertain and impedes genetic counseling. Twenty patients with suspected HD, but with no family history of the disease underwent molecular analysis of the CAG repeat in the IT15 gene for HD. Eighteen patients displayed the HD expanded allele and two had CAG repeats in the normal range. Neuropsychological tests could be performed in 12 of the 20 patients. Of these 10 with the expanded allele presented the deficits typical of HD, but not the two patients without the HD mutation. This study shows that a neuropsychological pattern is specific to patients with the expanded CAG and that most isolated patients with suspected HD are in fact affected.

Cognitive changes have long been observed in patients with Parkinson's disease: visuo-spatial deficits, memory disorders, dysexecutive syndrome. Given the modulatory role of the basal ganglia and related structures, these deficits might result from more fundamental disorders concerning the allocation of attentional resources, the temporal organization of behavior, the maintenance of representations in working memory or the self-elaboration of internal strategy, all of which resemble dysfunctions of processes that are commonly considered to be controlled by the frontal lobes. This suggests a functional continuity between the basal ganglia and association areas of the prefrontal cortex. The recent description in primates of parallel, segregated loops that interconnect well defined subregions of the basal ganglia to discrete areas of the prefrontal cortex via the thalamus may give some support to this hypothesis.

Cognitive changes have long been observed in patients with degenerative diseases or focal lesions that involve primarily subcortical structures. Generally speaking, the deficits that have been reported in these diseases are similar and include: slowing of central processing; defective use of memory stores; impaired behavioural regulation in sorting tasks; disorders of plaining in tower-related tasks; and impaired manipulation of internal representation of visuo-spatial stimuli. Given the modulatory role of the basal ganglia and related structures, these disorders might result from more fundamental deficits concerning the allocation of attentional resources, the temporal organization of behaviour, the maintenance of representations in working memory or the self-elaboration of internal strategy, all of which resemble dysfunctions of processes that are commonly considered to be controlled by the frontal lobes. This suggests a functional continuity between the basal ganglia and association areas of the prefrontal cortex. The recent description in primates of parallel, segregated loops that interconnect well-defined subregions of the basal ganglia to discrete areas of the prefrontal cortex via the thalamus may give some support to this hypothesis.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the accuracy of hippocampal and amygdala volume measurements in diagnosing patients in the early stages of Alzheimer disease. METHODS: Measurements of the hippocampal formation, amygdala, amygdalohippocampal complex (the two measurements summed), caudate nucleus, and ventricles, normalized for total intracranial volume, were obtained on coronal sections (1.5 T, 400/13 [repetition time/echo time], 5 mm) of 13 patients in the mild (minimental status > or = 21) and five patients in the moderate stages of Alzheimer disease (10 < minimental status < 21), and eight age-matched control subjects. RESULTS: For patients with a minimental status score of 21 or greater, atrophy was significant for the amygdala and hippocampal formation (-36% and -25% for amygdala/total intracranial volume and hippocampal formation/total intracranial volume, respectively), but not for the caudate nucleus. No significant ventricular enlargement was found. For patients with a minimental status score less than 21, atrophy was more severe in all structures studied (amygdala/total intracranial volume, -40%; hippocampal formation/total intracranial volume, -45%; caudate nucleus/total intracranial volume, -21%), and ventricles were enlarged (63%). No overlap was found between Alzheimer disease and control values for the amygdalohippocampal volume, even in the mild stages of the disease. In Alzheimer disease patients, hippocampal formation volumes correlated with the minimental status. CONCLUSION: Hippocampal and amygdala atrophy is marked and significant in the mild stages of Alzheimer disease. Volumetric measurements of the amygdala and the amygdalohippocampal complex appear more accurate than those of the hippocampal formation alone in distinguishing patients with Alzheimer disease.

Although it may be simplistic to regard the role of frontal lobes from a single perspective, there is more and more evidence that they are mainly involved in those cognitive functions, usually referred to as executive, which are needed for successful performance of complex tasks, namely: 1) analysis, sequential processing and holding on line of relevant information; 2) self-elaboration of plans in relation to specific contingencies; 3) adaptation to changes in environment; and 4) control of behavioral responses and evaluation of their pertinence. Generally speaking, the frontal cortex deals with all the processes needed for elaboration, control and execution of goaldirected behaviors (Fig. 1). Such behaviors require integration of both the subject’s own needs and information from the external world to maintain internal balance and to adapt to environmental contingencies.

A series of seven psychometric tests, to evaluate mental concentration and the ability to retain selective attention, lexical fluency, wordlist memorizing and psychomotor speed, was performed on 25 non-diabetic control subjects and 55 insulin-dependent diabetes (IDD) patients of similar social background and professional status. When tested, none of the diabetics was hypoglycaemic and these patients were divided into two groups: Group I: 30 IDD patients unaware of hypoglycaemia, and experiencing frequent and severe episodes of hypoglycaemia. Group II: 25 IDD patients aware of hypoglycaemia. Groups I and II had experienced the disease for the same period of time (17 +/- 13 vs. 14 +/- 11 years, respectively) and they had similar HbA1c levels (7.14 +/- 1.25% vs. 8.6 +/- 1.88%, respectively) and degenerative complications. Compared with the scores of the controls, the Group I scores were lower in four tests: trail-making part A (psychomotor speed; P less than 0.001) and part B (retaining selective attention; P less than 0.01), lexical fluency (P less than 0.01) and Rey auditory-verbal learning test (wordlist learning; P less than 0.05). Group II scores were lower in two tests: trail-making part A (P less than 0.01) and part B (P less than 0.05). In word memorizing, the performance of Group I was inferior to that of Group II (P less than 0.05). In general, these psychometric tests showed that IDD scores were lower than those of the controls, with an average of 67% for Group II and 80% for Group I. Chronic hyperglycaemia and severe hypoglycaemia may have a deleterious effect on cognitive performance. In particular, several severe episodes of hypoglycaemia could be responsible for permanent memory impairment.

A type of pathological behavior, imitation behavior (IB), is newly described. In this behavior patients imitate the examiner's gestures, although not instructed to do so. Patients explain that they thought they had to imitate the examiner. IB is the first stage of utilization behavior (UB). Neuropsychological examination of 40 patients with IB, of 35 with UB, and of 50 disease controls demonstrates the existence of a frontal syndrome and two determining features of such behavior: dependence on (1) the social and (2) the physical environments. Loss of intellectual control was also required for the occurrence of such behavior. UB and/or IB were present in 96% of the 29 patients with focal lesions of the frontal lobes. Computed tomographic scans in 26 of these patients showed involvement of the inferior half of the anterior part of one or both frontal lobes. IB and UB are interpreted as release of parietal lobe activities, resulting from impairment of frontal lobe inhibition.

Resume Dans ce travail, nous nous sommes proposes de repondre a deux questions: (1) les troubles aphasiques, apraxiques, agnosiques entrainent-ils un allongement des temps de reaction; (2) le rythme de presentation des stimuli a-t-il une influence sur l'apparition des phenomenes de fatigue dans la performance des patients atteints de lesions cerebrales? Trois epreuves ont ete utilisees: epreuve de designation a partir d'images identiques (I), epreuve de designation d'images a partir des mots correspondants (II), epreuve de denomination d'images (III). A chaque epreuve, 6 stimuli differents etaients presentes a 6 rythmes differents: 10, 15, 20, 30, 40 et 60 stimuli a la minute, pendant 2 min pour chaque rythme. 14 sujets-controle et 50 patients atteints de lesions cerebrales ont passe ces epreuves. Les resultats obtenus par les patients sont les suivants: (1) l'indice global de ralentissement par rapport aux sujets-controle est de 36 pour cent; (2) 84 pour cent des patients a l'epreuve I, 94 pour cent a l'epreuve II, 76 pour cent a l'epreuve III, 98 pour cent a une ou plus des 3 epreuves, ont presente un indice de ralentissement superieur a celui du sujet-controle le plus lent; (3) des augmentations de valeur de l'indice ont ete liees a la presence d'une aphasie ou de troubles visou-constructifs dus a une lesion de l'hemisphere mineur; (4) les performances des patients n'ont montre aucun signe de fatigabilite tant que leur pourcentage d'erreurs n'atteignait pas 20 pour cent; cette degradation de la performance a ete rattachee a un phenomene de saturation des reseaux physiologiques alteres lie au rythme de presentation des stimuli, plutot qu'a un phenomene de fatigue a proprement parler.

A new test is reported in which probabilistic activity is imposed on the subject in order to identify the visual stimuli presented to him. The test was validated in 109 normal subjects. When applied to 102 patients with focal cerebral lesions it demonstrated that all lesions of the right hemisphere provoked erroneous or delayed responses and that only lesions in the left occipital region produced the same effects.

A previously healthy young man developed encephalopathy after a wasp sting in 1968. Neurological complications included chorea, currently of a minor degree, replaced by buccofacial dyskinesias and compulsive movements. The most disabling consequences were of psychic nature, the patient presenting an unusually marked compulsive activity of an obsessional type. The whole psychic picture however was quite different from that of the usual neurosis, since there was neither anxiety nor doubt, but a mental vacuum contrasting with almost normal intellectual and affective capacities. It was as though there was a loss of the auto-activation system of psychic life, postulated by dynamic psychologists. C.A.T. demonstrated bilateral pallidostriatal necrosis. This suggests that the striatum plays a motor and psychic role. In the field of motor control, its hypoactivity appears to determine not only chorea but dyskinesias similar to tics and compulsive movements. In the psychic field, the striatum appears to play the very general role of an auto-activation system of intellectual and affective life, its deficiency leading to mental activity of a compulsive nature. Improvement in knowledge of striatal biology should clarify not only the basic mechanisms of chorea, but those of tics and obsessions.

In a double-blind cross-over study, the effects of a subthreshold dose of scopolamine (0.25 mg) on memory were compared in 32 control subjects and 32 parkinsonian patients who were without any sign of intellectual and mnemic impairment. Although the scores of the controls in the memory test battery showed no deterioration after the administration of scopolamine, the same dose resulted in significantly reduced memory performance in parkinsonian patients in two tests which involved the recognition of meaningless drawings. The selective vulnerability of parkinsonian subjects without cognitive impairment to a subthreshold dose of scopolamine suggests the existence of an underlying alteration of central cholinergic transmission. The neuropsychological findings in our study agree with postmortem biochemical data, which showed decreased cortical choline acetyltransferase activity in all parkinsonian patients, suggesting the existence of neuronal compensation in parkinsonian patients who are without cognitive impairment.

A case of frontal lobe lesions is reported, its interest being that it is similar to a syndrome that we have previously described as the consequence of lenticular nucleus lesions. This syndrome includes primarily a loss of psychic self-activation (psychic akinesia) and compulsive or pseudo-compulsive activities. In the present case the lesions involved the deep white matter of the prefrontal cortex on both sides, and were most extensive in the depth of the middle frontal gyrus. This similitude brings further support to the notion that subcortical damage of the lenticular nuclei can induce a frontal-like syndrome. The similitude with some of the behavioural aspects or depressive of hebephrenic states is emphasized. The occurrence of stereotyped mental activities is the basis for a discussion of the relationships with some features of obsessive-compulsive neurosis.

Two cases of crossed aphasia in right-handed patients are reported. The oral language of these two patients was characterized by a reduction in its lexical and grammatical content. Their written language, however, was a veritable jargon with anosognosia. The jargon aphasia of the first patient consisted mainly of neologisms. The written language of the second patient was slightly less disorganized and corresponded to an asemantic jargon. The existence of this jargon aphasia gives these two observations an exceptional character in relation to other cases of crossed aphasia in right-handed patients. It supplies new information which can be the basis for discussion on the relations between cerebral laterlization of language functions and manual preference.

After a carbon monoxide intoxication with coma of short duration, a 25 years-old man sustained a demential state and during the first weeks, a mild extrapyramidal syndrome. One year later, the mental state had progressively improved, although with a severe anterograde amnesia but the clinical picture had become unique. Let without external stimulation, the patient remained inert without any activity, often lying on his bed but not sleeping. He had lost any initiative. At the opposite, if he was stimulated, his physical, intellectual and affective performances were nearly normal, verbal fluency remaining however poor. Psychic self-activation appeared to be lost but psychic possibilities after external stimulation were nearly normal. When inactive, the patient was occupied with a mental compulsive activity. C.A.T. showed bilateral necrotizing lesions in the globus pallidus. The present case is very similar to a previously reported one. (D. Laplane et al., Rev. Neurol., 1981, 137 : 269-276) in which bilateral lenticular lesions produced the same syndrome. The pallidal area seems to play a determinant role in the processes of self-activation of psychic life.

Various studies have demonstrated that the ability to draw may be unaffected in motor aphasia, and even in some cases of sensory aphasia when there is no associated constructive apraxia. An artist, who was both a satirist and a caricaturist, was followed up for three years during re-educational therapy following the onset of an overall aphasia, and this raises the problem of the possible effects of drawing on recuperation of language, and the role of the right hemisphere in this recuperation. The question arises as to whether drawing should be restricted to certain particular cases during re-education or be employed in a more general manner?

The authors describe a case of prosopagnosia which appeared a month after right occipital lobectomy. Results obtained by means of various tests devised to analyse this perception disorder have produced the following conclusions: 1) results of pairing tests which require a high level of perceptive differentiation are successful but after abnormally long delays; 2) in spite of this success, faces--even the patient's own--are not recognized; 3) this disorder extends to affect every task requiring recognition of the individual nature of a stimulus; 4) this individuality has the peculiarity of being based on visual patterns which it is impossible, or almost impossible, to express verbally; 5) the part played by defective visual representation in the brain is discussed; 6) a posterior lesion of the minor hemisphere is a prerequisite of prosopagnosia; 7) these facts, in conjunction with the findings in cases of inter-hemispheric disconnection lead one to think that the minor hemisphere, in right-handed subjects, plays a major part in the development and treatment of highly differentiated visual patterns which it is impossible, or almost impossible, to express verbally.

Another case of obsessive behaviour as the consequence of lentiform nuclei lesions is reported. All the aspects of an obsessive neurosis were present: irresistible compulsiveness, acute anxiety in case of non accomplishment, magic-like clues. The symptoms appeared after a carbon monoxide poisoning, in a 31-years-old woman who had previously a pathological personality, of the psychopathic type, but without obsessive features. The onset of compulsions was paralleled by frontal-like psychological changes, but there was no reduction of intellectual or mnesic functions. A previous depressive state continued after the poisoning, so that the patient did not show an empty mind as did the other patients; the loss of "self-psychic activation" was only partial. All these case-reports emphasize the fact that the neuropsychological testing must not be limited to the behaviour and must investigate the "mental content" as well. They also lead us to emphasize similitudes between psychic disorders related to lenticular lesions and those related to frontal lobe lesions, including obsessive-like activities. Such case-reports provide a model in which some components of the obsessive neurosis, hebephrenia and depression are the consequence of an identified brain damage. It can be suggested that the neural circuits involving frontal lobes and parts of the neostriatum and of the pallidum are implicated in the mechanisms of these three types of psychoses.

Profile films of the lumbar region show the vacuum-disc phenomenon fairly frequently especially at the L5-S1 level and when there is disc degeneration. Two varieties can be distinguished : one with a well-defined enlarged medial image, and a more limited type which is often anterior, at the fibrous ring level and in contact with the vertebral plates. The latter is seen less frequently, but needs to be considered, as it precedes the changes seen in the nucleus pulposus in the intersomatic alteration. It has been shown that this image is of gaseous origin. It is caused by the liberation of gas into a newly-formed intersomatic cavity situated either in the nucleus pulposus or fibrous ring levels. The vacuum-disc phenomenon is of great diagnostic value as it is usually found in relation to degenerated discs and permits orientation of diagnosis towards classical arthrosis or Pott's pseudo-arthrosis when atypical radiological images are seen.

Visual agnosia following ischaemic accidents of the left posterior cerebral artery is often associated with intellectual deficiencies, memory disorders, elementary perceptive disturbances and elements of visuoverbal disconnection, with the result that some authors reject the notion of visual agnosia. By using a relatively simple examination procedure it is, however, possible to clearly differentiate the various disturbances, as shown by the case of a right-handed 66-year-old man in whom this type of vascular accident occurred. Neither the reduced intellectual capacities nor the memory disorders can explain the differences observed in the treatment of visual stimuli, which was very disturbed, and the normal treatment of other types of stimulus. Elementary difficulties are not sufficient to prevent correct discrimination, as all tests of matching object, images, colours, and graphic signs were successfully accomplished. Identification was disturbed however: the patient could not show the use of objects presented visually, and this disorder is related to the visual characteristics of the stimuli, which excludes a simple visuogestural disconnection; results of tests of classifying types of object images, colours, and graphic signs were markedly abnormal. Naming of these stimuli was also affected, even when they were correctly identified; this results from the visuoverbal disconnection associated with the agnosia, but it is insufficient to account for it, as the patient could correctly use objects that had been wrongly named, but could not use those that had been poorly identified. This case, therefore, has enabled a visual identification disorder to be isolated independently from a discrimination problem, and visuoverbal or visuogestural disconnections. It is the significance of ths stimulus that is disturbed. In contrast, functional or categorical classification is respected in right temporo-occipital lesions. It is the individuality of a stimulus within a physical category which is disturbed.
