Abstract
This detailed clinical report of a typical Capgras delusion (CD) in a demented patient is presented in order to foster future descriptions in neurological cases. In the framework of a recently developed model of familiar person processing, it is suggested that CD might be due to a dysfunction at the level of Person Identity Nodes. Prefrontal impairment is held to represent a critical factor leading to a failure of belief evaluation.Entities:
