“…Characterized by delusional misattribution of the paralyzed limb to someone else (Gerstmann, 1942;Romano and Maravita, 2019) -Right hemisphere subcortical white matter (Gandola et al, 2012;Moro et al, 2016) -Middle and inferior right frontal gyrus (Gandola et al, 2012) -Right hippocampus and amygdala (Gandola et al, 2012;Romano et al, 2014) Asomatognosia Disruption to right hemisphere influencing limb awareness Phenomenological similarities in 23% of the cases (Blanke and Metzinger, 2009) Feeling that parts of the body are missing or have disappeared from corporal awareness (Arzy et al, 2006;Saetta et al, 2021) Right temporo-parietal lobe, including the right superior parietal lobule (Saetta et al, 2021) Alien hand syndrome Disownership of the limb No traceable underlying cause for the perceived "disembodiment" of the limb (Müller, 2009) Motor control of the affected limb is disinhibited and moves non-volitionally -Primary motor cortex, premotor cortex, precuneus, and right inferior frontal gyrus (Schaefer et al, 2010) -Supplementary motor area, anterior cingulate gyrus, medial prefrontal cortex, and anterior corpus callosum (Feinberg et al, 1992) Anarchic -Anterior corpus callosum (Feinberg et al, 1992) Gender incongruity Conflict between aspects of the physical body (sex) and the desired body. Onset (early childhood or adolescence), discontent in the individual with their identity, perceived reduction of desire post-surgical intervention or through mimicking of desired identity Comorbidity of BID with GID has been described in 19% of the cases (First, 2005;Lawrence, 2010) Preserved rationality and distress disappears after surgical intervention (Garcia-Falgueras, 2014) Focus upon gender rather than upon a limb Intensity of rejection of body parts. Intense hatred in Gender incongruity vs. indifference in BID (Ostgathe et al, 2014) -Bilateral superior parietal lobule and the primary somatosensory cortex (Lin et al, 2014) -Right insula (Nawata et al, 2010) Apotemnophilia (from ancient Greek "love for amputation") proposes psychological or psychiatric features related to sexual disturbances to be the centerpiece of the disorder, whereas Xenomelia (from ancient Greek "foreign limb") put the disorder in the context of a neurological syndrome originating from alterations of the right parietal lobe (McGeoch et al, 2011).…”
