title: Neurologic fragments. II. Remarks on anosognosia, confabulation, memory, and other topics; and an appendix on self-observation.
abstract: This is an account of an informal presentation of personal views and opinions concerning behavioral phenomena--anosognosia, confabulation, memory and amnesia, perseveration and agitation, plus a few interesting brief case histories that make a neurologic point. Finally, the practice of self-observation is recommended for neurologists, and a few examples from personal experience are described.
