Question
A patient diagnosed with prosopagnosia has a i., and can not ii.__ faces or facial expressions despite having normal vision. The inducing brain injury affects iii.____________:-*1 pointA) i. damaged Fusiform gyrus, ii. Recall iii. Both Perception and memory of faces.B) i. damaged Fusiform gyrus, ii. Recognize, iii. perception but not memory of faces.C) i. damaged Lateral occipital cortex, ii. Recall, iii. Only perception of face and not memory of faces.D) i. damaged posterior parietal cortex, ii. Recognize, iii. Memory and not perception of faces.
Solution
The correct answer is B) i. damaged Fusiform gyrus, ii. Recognize, iii. perception but not memory of faces.
Prosopagnosia, also known as face blindness, is a cognitive disorder of face perception where the ability to recognize faces is impaired, while other aspects of visual processing and intellectual functioning remain intact. The damage is typically concentrated in the fusiform gyrus, which plays a key role in face perception. The condition does not affect a person's memory or cognitive abilities, which is why the patient can still remember faces, but not recognize them.

The fusiform gyrus is an area of the brain thought to underlie humans' ability to process facial expressions. Neuroscientist Ali Palejwala and his colleagues at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center studied the connections between the fusiform gyrus and other brain regions. They found strong connections with the occipital lobe, the brain region responsible for accepting and processing visual stimuli from the eyes via the optic nerve. These connections suggest that -------.Which choice most logically completes the text?no relationship exists between visual stimuli and facial recognition.eliminatehumans rely solely on sight to interpret the emotions of others.eliminatevisual stimuli travel from the fusiform gyrus to the occipital lobe.eliminatethe occipital lobe transmits visual information about faces to the fusiform gyrus.
