title: [The significance of exteropropioception (tactile-kinesthetic system) for verbal and nonverbal behavior following brain lesions].
abstract: Brain performance is organized by complex feedback networks. Lesions disrupt and short-circuit the older phylogenetic behaviour. Recovery takes place by bridging over, essentially induced by sensory input. Given its plurality, exteroproprioception is the most powerful modality of input. A model of its stimulation ("guidance of movements in problem-solving every day tasks") reaching attention and cooperation of heavily injured patients is summarized, and arguments in favour of it are advanced.
