Scope note

  • For example, Pignat et el. (2013) described the case of a 53-year-old man with frontal and temporal traumatic brain damage in the right hemisphere who thought he was in Portugal (his native country) when he was actually in Switzerland (his adopted country), essentially when the landscapes surrounding him were ambiguous. The disorder, which was transitory, finally disappeared.
