Prosopagnosia

Prosopagnosia (Latine fere 'ignorantia facierum') est valetudinis perturbatio, in qua facultas facierum adgnoscendarum deest constanti aliarum rerum adgnoscendarum facultate. Hoc verbum condicionem post acutum cerebri detrimentum contractum olim designavit, sed congenitale confusionis genus nuper propositum est, quod a circiter 2.5 centesimis hominum hereditate accipitur. Definitus cerebri locus qui usitate cum prosopagnosia consociatur est gyrus fusiformis.
