Moontanman Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 Delusions Associated With Consistent Pattern Of Brain InjuryScienceDaily (Jan. 13, 2009) — A new study provides a novel theory for how delusions arise and why they persist. NYU Langone Medical Center researcher Orrin Devinsky, MD, performed an in-depth analysis of patients with certain delusions and brain disorders revealing a consistent pattern of injury to the frontal lobe and right hemisphere of the human brain. The cognitive deficits caused by these injuries to the right hemisphere, leads to the over compensation by the left hemisphere of the brain for the injury, resulting in delusions.
