What Causes Face BlindnessThe neurological basis for prosopagnosia is not well understood. One theory is that the condition is the result of abnormalities, damage, or impairment in the right fusiform gyrus of the brain — the part of the brain which coordinates neural systems controlling facial perception and memory. For congenital cases, the cause seems most likely related to geneticsIn 2012, doctors at Stanford temporarily implanted electrodes in a patient with prosopagnosia’s brain and discovered two nerve clusters integral in perceiving faces. There is some disagreement in the scientific literature about whether prosopagnosia is a general disorder of recognition or a face-specific problem. It may be that there are different types of prosopagnosia, each with their own set of symptoms.
