Prosopagnosia - The Inability to Recognize Faces

A longstanding New Jersey medical professional, Dr. Jonathan Fellus leads the private practice Advanced NeuroCare, LLC. One of the neurological disorders Dr. Jonathan Fellus has experience treating is prosopagnosia. With this condition, the patient cannot identify or recognize faces.

In many cases, prosopagnosia results from a brain injury or stroke that impacts processing structures in the occipital lobe, which is located at the rear of the brain. This lobe is tasked with decoding inputs delivered from the eyes. The entire facial picture is matched with stored memories of familiar faces in the lobe’s fusiform gyrus structure, which generates recognition.

Prosopagnosia involves a type of neurological failure known as a “simultagnosia,” which is the inability to integrate parts into a coherent whole. As Dr. Fellus describes it in a piece on Quora, a primary medication treatment goal for prosopagnosia focuses on increasing the chief neurotransmitter acetylcholine and modifying fusiform cortex activity, either through QEEG-guided neuro-feedback, or supporting optimal network functioning with the use of nutraceuticals such as the potent blend of ingredients found in Neurella.
