Abstract
In this case report we discuss the lack of emotional reactivity and evasive motor motivation to nociceptive stimuli presented by a patient with frontotemporal degenerative disease and apathy as a predominant behavioral symptom.
Key words:
pain; apathy; frontotemporal; dementia; anterior cingulate cortex
Resumo
Neste relato de caso, nós discutimos a falta de reatividade emocional e motora frente a um forte estímulo doloroso apresentada por uma paciente com doença degenerativa fronto-temporal cujo principal sintoma era a apatia.
Palavras-chave:
dor; apatia; fronto-temporal; demência; córtex cingulado anterior
