"Prosopagnosia" — as the name implies, is unable to identify patients with human face. Patients unable to watch a film, because he could account for the role; they also cannot group photo from the group to find specific people. A term used to describe light of patients through training in mind a limited number of faces, a term used to describe severe patients can only recognize her family, the most serious patients only know their own.
From small to large, Sicily ya · Berman has been very difficult to remember someone's face. She often encounter in the street, as this acquaintance offended many just friends. Stephanie 38-year-old Berman complained: "people think I'm a snob, and even beat greets are lazy, disgruntled people. ”
Recently, the medical profession to Berman's troubles finding reasons: Lieberman is suffering from a "prosopagnosia" — as the name implies, prosopagnosia patients unable to identification of human faces. Scientists said prosopagnosia far more than people think, but in general there has not been given adequate attention.
Or raised by the dominant gene
It is reported that in the past, the medical profession that prosopagnosia is a very rare symptoms, but mainly due to a brain defect causing patients. Until recent years, the medical records of prosopagnosia case is 100 people.
But in June of this year, Germany scientist study found, prosopagnosia than people imagine more widespread, but this disease genetic probability is very high. Germany muenster Human Genome Research Institute, Dr. Thomas · Gruber, said the new findings show that 50 people out of 1 people prosopagnosia.
Gruber, said: "This means that the United States alone there are over 500 million prosopagnosia patients. This is a very high proportion. "Gruber-is devoted to the study of prosopagnosia expert, he himself is a prosopagnosia patients.
Gruber's latest research report was published in the latest issue of the journal of gene medicine, United States, strong repercussions in the medical profession. In the study, the Gruber on 689 conducted a survey of students in Germany resulted in the discovery of 17 prosopagnosia patients, 14 patients at least one close relative has the same problem. Gruber-suspected prosopagnosia is composed of a single dominant gene, so if parents in illness, then the child has a 50 percent chance of illness.
According to reports, prosopagnosia patients with specific conditions vary. For most patients, the problem lies not in the face of the watch — the patient and the normal person clearly saw other people's eyes, nose and mouth, but the problem is that when they see this face, they cannot be recognized.
Therefore, prosopagnosia to patients living annoyance. They may be able to watch a film, because they could account for the role; they also cannot group photo from the group to find specific people.
A term used to describe light of patients through training force yourself to remember a limited number of faces (a study called for patients, this process was like to distinguish between the different stone), a term used to describe severe patients can only recognize her family, the most serious patients only know their own. A patient that she had a person many public bathroom, looking in the mirror and made a face, so she can tell which are themselves in the mirror.
By acknowledging the hair, the shape and staff recognition
The majority of prosopagnosia patients from very early times it starts with a variety of ways to solve the problem of unable to identify faces.
For example, they rely on human hair, sound, shape or walking attitude to; they try to avoid going to some might encounter acquaintances; they walked in the streets of pretended is dedicated to things like; they are to anyone showed very friendly (or very unfriendly) attitude.
Scientists have not made clear what the human brain is how perception faces, only know that this perception is part of the innate, and involve multiple parts of the brain. For example, infants prefer watching my mother's face and not a stranger's face, but they soon learn to distinguish between the male and female faces. Scientist study finds prosopagnosia patients have defects of the brain.
