Capgras is a “delusional misidentification disorder” in which pts believe emotionally salient relatives (or sometimes places or themself) are clones or imposters when viewing their faces. This causes emotional disconnection and may impose straining dilemmas.

Focus of language in left hemi skews respons. and comm across lobes resulting in unique symptoms across both stroke and trauma victims when shit hits the fan aka stroke or abuse/disaster. Left hemi less prone to notice discrepancies while the right hemi is willing to flip the script. May lead to incongruent beliefs or a fragmented story.
