Patients with conversion disorder generally ESTER-C SUPREME 600MG suffer from a severe neurological deficit which cannot be attributed to a structural neurological damage.In two patients with acute conversion paraplegia, investigation with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) showed that the insular cortex, a limbic-related cortex involved in body-representation and subjective emotional experience, was activated not only during attempt to move the paralytic body-parts, but also during mental imagery of their movements.In addition, mental rotation of affected body-parts was found to be disturbed, as compared to unaffected body parts or external objects.fMRI during mental rotation of the paralytic body-part showed an activation of another limbic related region, the anterior cingulate cortex.

These data suggest that conversion paraplegia is Ball - Field Equipment - Pitch Machine associated with pathological activity in limbic structures involved in body representation and a deficit in mental processing of the affected body-parts.
