|
Anton syndrome or denial of blindness may result from retention of visual input to the parietal cortex by way of the superior
colliculus and pulvinar. It is often called "blind sight". Elementary visual hallucinations may result from primary visual cortex lesions. Release hallucinosis may occur in the hemianopic field. It is not thought that the lateral geniculate nucleus can bring visual input to consciousness. The optic radiations do not project to either parietal or temporal cortex. |

What brain region is involved in disgust?

Various brain regions have been implicated in the processing of several different emotions. There is growing evidence that the
insula is involved in the perception of disgust and the recognition of facial and vocal expressions of disgust. |

|
What exposures can lead to Hg toxicity and what symptoms can it cause?
|
Mercury toxicity can occur from paper or thermostat manufacturing, ingestion of contaminated seafood or from breathing
metallic mercury vapor. Organic mercury intoxication results in a dementia associated with depression and hallucinations. On an elemental neurologic exam, one may find visual field deficits, blindness, deafness, dysarthria, choreoathetosis, and ataxia. Sometimes a syndrome mimicking amyotrophic lateral sclerosis may be seen |

What is PAID?
|
Paroxysmal autonomic instability with dystonia (PAID) is a common symptom cluster similar to malignant hyperthermia and
neuroleptic malignant syndrome. It commonly appears following severe traumatic or hypoxic brain injury. Treatment generally consists of beta-adrenergic blockers, opioid analgesia, dopamine agonists, and benzodiazepines. Dopamine antagonists can precipitate symptoms similar to PAID. Drugs acting on cholinergic and serotonin systems have not been found to be effective. |

|
What lesions can cause Gerstmann syndrome?
|
supramarginal and angular gyrus of the dominant parietal lobe
