Prosopagnosia is the inability to recognize faces but is believed to stem from damage to the ventral route of the visual system. Whereas covert recognition is shown in people that lost their ability to recognize faces, implying an intact ventral limbic structure projecting to the amygdala. [3]

Prosopagnosia is a deficit that occurs earlier in the neural circuit while the facial stimuli is ...
