Here we present data supporting the hypothesis that the key area typically associated with anosognosia for hemiparesis/-plegia is the right posterior insula. [hsbiblio.uni-tuebingen.de]

Abstract Objective Impaired insight (anosognosia) is frequently present in Alzheimer's disease. However, established instruments for diagnosing anosognosia are lacking. [thieme-connect.com]

• Dysarthria

  Analysis revealed that 94% of those patients rated having 'mild anosognosia', i.e. who did not acknowledge their hemiparesis spontaneously following a general question about their complaints, suffered from and mentioned other neurological deficits, such as dysarthria [hsbiblio.uni-tuebingen.de]
