Opis:
The neuropsychology of creativity is recently understood as a subdiscipline developing on the borderline of being a: (1) medical neuroscience - using clinical and experimental neuroanatomical, neurophysiological, neurobiological, neurosurgical, neurological, neuropsychiatric methods and approaches and (2) social neuroscience - using social psychology and neuropsychology, social linguistics and neurocultural studies to help disabled people. The subject of research into the neuropsychology of creativity is the relationship between creativity and the functioning of the brain (structures and neuronal connections) and the self using the individual, social and cultural mind and modelling these behaviors in relation to the biological organism and the social and cultural environment itself. Neuropsychological research of creativity is directed mainly to discover the brain mechanisms of creativity, to form the theoretical models, to elaborate the methods of diagnosis and therapy of artists with brain damage. A promising model that allows for a better understanding of the creation process, and therefore one offering better assistance to individuals who have never developed or have lost the ability to create due to brain damage, is the microgenetic approach that will be discussed in this article. To introduce the reader to these issues, a case study of an artist with brain damage is presented. It illustrates the importance of performing a syndrome analysis, supported by the neurophysiological studies (neuroimaging studies of the brain, quantitative electroencephalography (qEEG), event-related potentials (ERPs) and sLorette tomography) with the use of neuromarkers to avoid a false diagnosis. It also shows the possibilities of art therapy in the process of rebuilding the creative abilities lost as a result of brain damage, and thus the rebuilding of one's individual, social and cultural Self. However, something that is also important for artists, selected works, especially the most characteristic and significant ones, are also achieving critical recognition. It even happens that they become a part of the world's cultural heritage, are displayed at various exhibitions and are even bought to be hung in the collections of galleries acrosss the world, like in the case of the artist presented in these paper.

Opis:
This article is dedicated to my beloved mother, Zofia Kuzak, Honorary Member of the Polish Neuropsychological Society, and my highest moral authority, to honor her 100 th birthday. During the Nazi occu pation, at the age of 23, she was deport ed to Germany and forced into slave labour at a German camp, from which she managed to escape. During this escape she had to sit for three long days high up in a tree, without food and without anything to drink, something made possible by her strong physical condition. After three days, she dared to leave the tree and, in throwing the Nazis pursuing her, she ran away not to the South - to her home in Nowy Sącz, but to the North – to Poznań, where she took refuge in the apartment of other relatives, true Polish patriots. She stayed there for the years 1943–1947, keeping the accounts at the large family grocery store. The experiences from this period influenced the formation of her own self and her identity. Her stories about times of tragedy and her ways of dealing with the darkest moments in her life contributed to the fact that I became interested in the subject of the self and identity. I have prepared two monographs and several articles on this topic. This article presents a new approach to integrated self system, associated not only with the physical organism, but also with the social and cultural world. The foundation of this approach to the self is microgenetic theory, especially its account of consciousness, of the transition from self to image, act and object, the epochal nature of this transition, and its relation to introspection, imagination and agency. The affinities of microgenetic theory to many aspects of the thought process should be evident to readers of this journal, but the theory, which was developed from studies of pathological cases, rests on a wealth of clinical detail. In brief, the micro-temporal transition from archaic to recent formations (distributed systems) in the phyletic history of the forebrain constitutes the absolute mental state, with consciousness the relation of self to image and/or object. The reader will be able also to find here the overlapping of states, the continuity of the core over successive states, and subjective time experience. However, the integrated self system is associated not only with the operation of the biological brain and its complex patterns of neural connections, but also with the activity of the social mind/brain, in terms of bonds created within social groups, as well as the cultural mind/brain creating the world of cultural values, including religious ones. I will sum up with a model of self system changing in time (4D), pulsating according to the states of mind (5D) forming different numbers of “bits” of information, as marked on the x axis, and linked to the duration of memories, marked on the y axis. The self system also depends on gravity (6D), and other hyperspace dimensions hitherto unknown in neuroscience.

Opis:
The aim of the study is to present Gerstmann syndrome, manifested as a neuropsychological deficit resulting from the damage to the parietal lobe of the left hemisphere. Here it is discussed based on the studies conducted mainly since the 1950’s when it attracted considerable interest, as well as and controversy at the same time. The classic symptoms are briefly described, including the clinical tasks useful in any the diagnosis for during the neuropsychological assessment. The paper also presents recent studies and a alternative different proposal for the understanding of this clinical syndrome. Josef Gerstmann described a clinical tetrad in his patients, which was later to be known as Gerstmann syndrome. The symptoms included finger agnosia, agraphia, acalculia and left-right disorientation. He associated the above symptoms with damage to the left angular gyrus, hence the alternative a different name for of the syndrome i.e., the angular gyrus syndrome. The existence of the syndrome was questioned for some time, something which was never approved by Gerstmann. Currently, the occurrence of the syndrome is confirmed by studies. However, the full and pure tetrad of the classic symptoms as observed is not common. The clinical picture of the syndrome often usually remains incomplete and is related to other neuropsychological deficits such as aphasia, which frequently occurs. In modern considerations, the language deficiencies of semantic aphasia are not treated as non- Gerstmann syndrome, disturbing its pure form, but are considered to be a part of Gerstmann syndrome as such.

Opis:
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of functional neuromarker- based electroencephalographic training with neurofeedback (EEG-NFB) for a patient with dysexecutive syndrome following neurosurgical operation of two brain aneurysms of the left and right middle cerebral artery (MCA) detected after COVID-19 disease. A right-handed, 56-years-old, not vaccinated, patient, became infected with SARS- CoV-2 and contracted COVID-19 with the manifestation of respiratory symptoms, high fever, dyspnea and low saturation of 79% Sa02. She was hospitalized at the Infectious Disease Unit, where a positive RT PCR test for COVID-19 was confirmed. The acute phase of COVID-19, during which oxygen therapy was administered, lasted two weeks and was complicated by brain fog and transient hypertension (175/100). There were no signs of focal damage to the central nervous system. She was discharged home in a good general and neurological condition. After returning home, the patient was unable to cope with daily functioning, as she said her brain fog continued to persist, manifesting itself as executive dysfunction. Eight weeks after the infection, the patient's neuropsychiatric condition worsened. On CT and MRI examination of the cerebral vessels, she was diagnosed with the presence of two aneurysms located on the left and right middle cerebral arteries (MCA). She was operated on at the Department of Neurosurgery and Neurotraumatology, where a pterional craniotomy and clipping of both brain aneurysms was performed. The Yasargil titanium clip was placed on the aneurysm neck. During the surgery procedures, performed two months apart, there were no signs of a history of subarachnoid haemorrhage and the post-operative period was uneventful, except for a drooping right-eye eyelid (after the second surgery) with a tendency to improve. Each time, the patient was mobilized and walked independently and was discharged home in a good general condition, with no neurological symptoms, except for executive dysfunction. Approximately five months after the SARS-CoV-2 infection (four weeks after the second surgery), her executive dysfunction worsened. Neuropsychological testing using Mindstreams™ Interaction Computer Tests revealed moderate Dysexecutive Syndrome (DES), while neurophysiological testing using qEEGs, ERPs and sLORETA tomography, a functional neuromarker of frontotemporal area dysfunction. The EEG pattern was characterized by excessive, slow (about 6 Hz) activity in frontotemporal areas, which indicated the progressive loss of cognitive control over time. The patient was offered an electroencephalographic training protocol with neurofeedback (EEG-NFB) based on the detected functional neuromarker, which reduced DES. The improvement achieved during therapy was statistically significant [compared to the normative database (Human Brain Index, HBI)]. In effect, the patient's quality of life improved, as she herself pointed out. Her symptoms of brain fog and DES disappeared and she returned to her previous work as a waitress. The Human Brain Index (HBI) methodology can be successfully used in the neurodiagnosis and implementation of individualized electroencephalographic training with neurofeedback (EEG-NFT) for patients with executive dysfunction after contracting longCOVID.
