FEATURES OF THE VIOLATION OF HIGHER CORTICAL FUNCTIONS

IN LOCAL BRAIN LESIONS

Summary. Classical neurology divides the syndromes of dysfunction of the superior cortex with local brain damage into three main groups: agnosia, apraxia and aphasia. In addition to these disorders, there are also disorders that are more often manifested in the form of аlexia, agraphy, acalculia, amusia. There are clinical bases for dividing the main syndromes into agnosia, аpraxia and aphasia. In focal lesions of the brain, cognitive, motor or speech disorders prevail, especially in disorders of the functions of the superior cortex. In neuralgia, agnosia is explained as retained feelings, impaired perception against the background of emotions, and аpraxia is explained as impaired activity against the background of the preservation of simple motor functions. The noted violations do not manifest themselves in isolation, but, as a rule, accompanying each other.
