title: [Confabulation: From the Aspect of Disturbance in Time Perception].
abstract: Confabulation is a false story that amnesic patients make up unintentionally, by recollecting irrelevant memories instead of relevant. Disconnection of a brain network, including the diencephalon, basal forebrain, orbitofrontal, cortex and medial temporal lobe, could be the cause of this neuropsychological symptom. Considering confabulation from the aspect of disturbance in time perception is useful in understanding the mechanism of human time perception and the essence of confabulation.
