Loss of psychic self-activation has been described after bilateral lesions to the globus pallidus, striatum, and white matter of the frontal lobes, but it is a very rare sign of bithalamic lesions. The exact functional-anatomic mechanism underlying loss of psychic self-activation following bithalamic lesions remains to be elucidated.
