Agnosias demonstrate the broadest spectrum of pathology of consciousness in neurology and psychiatry. Agnosias wipe off the definite functions from the brain's activity precisely and completely, allowing the consciousness to be investigated in itself. Thorough investigations of confabulatory manifestations disclose the rationale for the development of pathological functions and point out that there is a remedial (reconstructive) sense behind the senselessness of a mental state. Pathology seems to be accompanied by involuntary reparation on the part of the brain. Investigations of the conscious activity in agnosias show a separate, passive and real brain system of consciousness without pathology and genetic regulations. Neurological symbolic agnosias represent a cerebral and notional character and therefore constitute a link between neurological and psychiatric agnosias, which proves the existence of the same mechanism of development underlying agnosic syndromes, both in psychiatry and neurology. The work proves dual form of human self (somatic and notional) that constitute oneness, when they are dissociated, agnosia is caused. |
