Artery supplies the head of the caudate nucleus, the internal capsule and the septal nuclei. It branches off the Anterior Cerebral Artery (ACA) and travels back to these structures. A stroke to the caudate (which may also result from an occlussion of the lenticulostriate arteries) can cause akinesia, abulia and mutism. There may also be contralateral hemiparesis due to involvement of the internal capsule.

vivid, complex visual hallucinations (fictive visual percepts) occur in mentally healthy people. One characteristic of these hallucinations is that they usually are "lilliput hallucinations" (hallucinations in which the characters or objects are smaller than in reality). He first documented it in his 87-year-old grandfather, who was nearly blind from cataracts in both eyes but perceived men, women, birds, carriages, buildings, tapestries, and scaffolding patterns.

Most who are affected by this are people with visual impairments due to old age, damage to the eyes or optic pathways.

There are all potentially therapeutic factors in group therapy. Altruism is the factor which occurs during group in which an individual can enhance self-esteem and gain a sense of self-efficacy through helping others. Acceptance is the notion that feeling respected by others can be therapeutic in itself. That individuals in the group may be instilled with hope by hearing about the experiences of others is inspiration. Patients come to see each other as role models during group. Through sharing powerful thoughts and feelings, shame and guilt can be reduced; this is called ventilation.

However there's no change or increase in "crystallized" cognitive abilities. They include communication skills and ability to comprehend speech. Unless primary perceptual deficits are present, there is no decline in ability to encode sensory and auditory information and briefly hold information in memory.
