La vivencia de estar muerto

[摘要] The author reports a case of a woman with postencephalitic Parkinson, who affirmed to be dead as all her visceral system had been destroyed. The author thinks that these disbodied disturbances are determined by interruption of the sensitive visceral pathways caused by the encephalitic process, and considers the case proper to bring out the argument favouring the assumption of the diencephalic localization of psychic functions in vital depression.
