The anatomical basis of prosopagnosia

J C Meadows 1,2,1
PMCID: PMC494693  PMID: 4209556

Abstract

Evidence is presented that patients with prosopagnosia have right anterior inferior occipital lesions in the region of the occipital temporal junction. Many if not all cases have an additional lesion in the left hemisphere; this is often but apparently not always symmetrical with the right hemisphere lesion. This evidence is discussed in relation to the anatomical connections of these regions and the results of experiments in animals.
