Unawareness of disease following lesions of the right hemisphere: anosognosia for hemiplegia and anosognosia for hemianopia.
TLDR
Unawareness of motor and visual-field defects was investigated in 97 right brain-damaged subjects and both kinds of anosognosia were found to be double-dissociated from more elementary neurological disorders and from personal and extra-personal neglect.About:

Awareness of Illness in Schizophrenia
TL;DR: The argument is made here that many of the self-awareness deficits observed in schizophrenia are of diagnostic significance, are neurally based, and are indispensable in guiding treatment decisions.

Non-spatially lateralized mechanisms in hemispatial neglect.
TL;DR: In this paper, the interactions between spatially lateralized and non-lateralized brain mechanisms are investigated to understand the neglect syndrome and normal functions of brain structures that are commonly damaged in neglect patients, and contribute to the development of treatments for the condition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spatial hemineglect in humans
TL;DR: The paper reviews the main findings of studies of hemispatial neglect after acquired brain lesions in people and discusses the behavioral consequences of experimentally induced lesions in animals and electrophysiological studies, which shed light on the nature of the disorder.

Managing threats to self: awareness in early stage Alzheimer's disease
TL;DR: A preliminary model of the construction of awareness in early stage Alzheimer's is presented that acknowledges biological mechanisms but places the main emphasis on psychosocial factors and self-concept.

A Coefficient of agreement for nominal Scales
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a procedure for having two or more judges independently categorize a sample of units and determine the degree, significance, and significance of the units. But they do not discuss the extent to which these judgments are reproducible, i.e., reliable.

Disconnexion syndromes in animals and man
TL;DR: This paper would never have been written without Professor Zangwill’s urging, and I am grateful to him for having brought me to a more careful review of the older literature and a more precise statement of my own ideas.

Unilateral neglect, representational schema and consciousness
TL;DR: Right brain-damaged patients with unilateral neglect were asked to detect differences within pairs of patterns moving left- or rightward behind a narrow vertical slit; it was seen that differences occurring on the left side of the mentally reconstructed images were less easily detected.
