InterestModerate interest

EngagementNeutral engagement

Responses are minimal, with little in-depth analysis or extended discussion about the research findings.

ImpactNeutral impact

The discussion does not seem to influence opinions or prompt significant reflection on the subject.

Abstract in brief

  • The article reviews cases of Foreign Accent Syndrome (FAS), mostly focusing on neurogenic causes, but it highlights that there have been only a few reports suggesting a psychogenic (psychological) origin.
  • It presents findings from a detailed database search on psychogenic FAS and emphasizes that this form of FAS might be underreported, especially in more recent years.
  • The authors argue that psychogenic FAS should be recognized as a separate clinical entity, which could improve diagnosis and understanding of the condition in medical practice.
