Structural and dynamic features of verbal hallucinosis in organic lesions of the frontal region of the brain

Abstract

A large number of works are devoted to the problem of studying auditory hallucinations. However, it would be wrong to believe that the issues related to this problem have been finally resolved. So, the features of auditory hallucinations in organic brain damage of various localization, in particular the frontal region, have not been sufficiently studied. Focal lesions of the frontal region are characterized by a variety of mental disorders related to the pathology of not only individual aspects of mental activity, but also consciousness and personality. The defeat of the frontal lobes is accompanied by disorders not only of the direct functions of this area, but also of other cerebral systems that disrupt their work due to changes in the impact of frontal mechanisms on these systems. With the defeat of the frontal lobes, hallucinations of various modalities occur, which are true. They usually arise simultaneously in several areas of the senses - auditory, olfactory, visual. Until now, data on auditory hallucinations in organic lesions of the frontal region of the brain, firstly, have not been generalized, and secondly, they have not been systematized.
