A longitudinal study of confabulation
2017, CortexCitation Excerpt :Some patients with significant memory impairment show confabulation, the production of statements and actions that are unintentionally incongruous to the patient's history, background, present and future situation (Dalla Barba, 1993a). This rather infrequent disorder is a classical and pathognomonic sign of Korsakoff's syndrome (Benson et al., 1996; Bonhoeffer, 1904; Cermak, Uhly, & Reale, 1980; Dalla Barba, Cipolotti, & Denes, 1990; Korsakoff, 1889; Mercer, Wapner, Gardner, & Benson, 1977; Wyke & Warrington, 1960). But confabulation is also observed in patients suffering from ruptured aneurisms of the anterior communicating artery, subarachnoid hemorrhage or encephalitis, head injury (e.g., Baddeley & Wilson, 1986; Dalla Barba, 1993b), Binswanger's Encephalopathy (Dalla Barba, 1993a); Alzheimer's disease and frontotemporal dementia (Attali, De Anna, Dubois, & Dalla Barba, 2009; Dalla Barba, Nedjam, & Dubois, 1999; Kern, Van Grop, Cummings, Brown, & Osato, 1992; La Corte, Serra, Boissé, & Dalla Barba, 2010; Nedjam, Dalla Barba, & Pillon, 2000; Nedjam, Devouche, & Dalla Barba, 2004) and aphasia (Sandson, Albert, & Alexander, 1986).
Different patterns of recollection impairment in confabulation reveal different disorders of consciousness: A multiple case study
2016, Consciousness and CognitionCitation Excerpt :One such memory distortion is confabulation, that is the production of statements or actions that are unintentionally incongruous to the subject’s history, background, present and future situation (Dalla Barba, 1993a). This rather infrequent disorder is classically described in Korsakoff’s syndrome (Benson et al., 1996; Bonhoeffer, 1904; Cermak, Uhly, & Reale, 1980; Dalla Barba, Cipolotti, & Denes, 1990; Korsakoff, 1889; Mercer, Wapner, Gardner, & Benson, 1977; Schnider, Gutbrod, & Schroth, 1996; Talland, 1961; Wyke & Warrington, 1960). But confabulation is also seen in patients suffering from ruptured aneurisms of the anterior communicating artery, subarachnoid hemorrhage or encephalitis (Alexander & Freedman, 1984; Dalla Barba, Cappelletti, et al., 1997; De Luca & Cicerone, 1991; Delbecq-Derouesné, Beauvois, & Shallice, 1990; Diamond, De Luca, & Kelley, 1997; Irle, Wowra, Kunert, & Kunze, 1992; Kapur & Coughlan, 1980; Kopelman, Guinan, & Lewis, 1995; Luria, 1976; Moscovitch, 1989, 1995; Papagno & Muggia, 1996; Schnider, Gutbrod, et al., 1996; Stuss, Alexander, Lieberman, & Levine, 1978), head injury (Baddeley & Wilson, 1986; Dalla Barba, 1993b; Demery, Hanlon, & Bauer, 2001; Schnider, von Däniken, & Gutbrod, 1996; Weinstein & Lyerly, 1968), Binswanger’s Encephalopathy (Dalla Barba, 1993a), Alzheimer’s disease and frontotemporal dementia (Dalla Barba et al., 1999; Kern, Van Grop, Cummings, Brown, & Osato, 1992; Nedjam, Dalla Barba, & Pillon, 2000; Nedjam, Devouche, & Daalla, 2004) and aphasia (Sandson, Albert, & Alexander, 1986).
The mammillary bodies and memory: More than a hippocampal relay
2015, Progress in Brain ResearchCitation Excerpt :However, others have questioned what the benefits of such a memory circuit might be and suggested that the medial diencephalon and medial temporal lobe support different aspects of memory (e.g., Parkin, 1984, 1996; Squire, 1981). Diencephalic amnesia has been proposed to specifically reflect an impairment in encoding (Butters and Cermak, 1980; Cermak et al., 1980; Huppert and Piercy, 1977; Sweeney-Reed et al., 2014; Vann and Aggleton, 2003; Wetzel and Squire, 1980); conversely, differences in forgetting rates between diencephalic and medial temporal lobe amnesics have been taken to suggest that the medial temporal lobe is particularly important for consolidation (e.g., Parkin, 1992; Squire, 1981) (but see Aggleton, 2008; Freed and Corkin, 1988; Freed et al., 1987; Kopelman, 2002; McKee and Squire, 1992; Parkin, 1992). A further dissociation between diencephalic and medial temporal lobe amnesia has been reported for temporal order memory, with diencephalic amnesics performing disproportionately worse on this aspect of memory (Hunkin and Parkin, 1993; Hunkin et al., 1994; Kopelman et al., 1997; Squire, 1982).
"Do you remember what you did on March 13, 1985?" A case study of confabulatory hypermnesia
2009, CortexCitation Excerpt :At a general level, confabulation can be referred to as a symptom observable in amnesic patients who are unaware of their memory deficit, and which consists of actions and verbal statements that are unintentionally incongruous to the patient's history, background, present and future situation (Dalla Barba, 1993a). This rather infrequent disorder is classically described in Korsakoff's syndrome (Benson et al., 1996; Bonhoeffer, 1904; Cermak et al., 1980; Dalla Barba et al., 1990; Korsakoff, 1889; Mercer et al., 1977; Schnider et al., 1996a, 1996b; Talland, 1961; Wyke and Warrington, 1960). But confabulation is also seen in patients suffering from ruptured aneurisms of the anterior communicating artery, subarachnoid haemorrhage or encephalitis (Alexander and Freedman, 1984; Dalla Barba et al., 1997a, 1997b; Delbecq-Derouesné et al., 1990; Irle et al., 1992; Kapur and Coughlan, 1980; Kopelman et al., 1995; Luria, 1976; Moscovitch, 1989, 1995; Papagno and Muggia, 1996; Schnider et al., 1996a, 1996b; Stuss et al., 1978), head injury (Baddeley and Wilson, 1986; Dalla Barba, 1993b; Schnider et al., 1996a, 1996b; Weinstein and Lyerly, 1968), Binswanger's Encephalopathy (Dalla Barba, 1993a), Alzheimer's disease and frontotemporal dementia (Dalla Barba et al., 1999; Kern et al., 1992; Nedjam et al., 2000, 2004) and aphasia (Sandson et al., 1986).
