Objective
Distinguish between visual agnosia and prosopagnosia. |
Visual agnosia is an inability to recognize objects despite otherwise satisfactory vision.
Usually results from damage somewhere in the posterior occipital and/or temporal cortex Prosopagnosia is an inability to recognize faces. Usually results from damage to the fusiform gyrus of the inferior temporal cortex (especially in the right hemisphere) |
|
Objective
Describe the role of MT and MST in motor perception. |
See study guide.
