Abstract
⺠Loss of insight results from bvFTD, a disorder affecting the medial frontal area. ⺠These patients have anosodiaphoria, or indifference, rather than anosognosia. ⺠This anosodiaphoria may result from a loss of emotional updating. ⺠Loss of emotional updating particularly impacts on self-referential processes. ⺠Frontal anosodiaphoria is a failure to emotionally tag self-referent information.
