Abstract

When viewed from a distance, visual hallucinations fall into one of two symptom patterns, a dichotomy which poses a problem for theoretical models treating them as a single entity. Such models should be broadened to allow for two distinct but overlapping syndromes--one likely to relate to visual de-afferentation, the other to Perception and Attention Deficit (PAD) cholinergic pathology.
