Neuropsychological findings relating to Capgras syndrome.
A 37-year-old female with Capgras syndrome was assessed on psychometric and neuropsychological measures. Significant neuropsychological deficits suggesting a frontal-temporal cerebral dysfunction were observed. The results demonstrate that the Capgras delusion involves more than an inability to recognize faces, although this deficit is one manifestation of the disorder.
