Face blindness, also known as prosopagnosia, is a neurological condition that affects a person’s ability to recognize faces.
It is a disorder of face perception where the brain has difficulty recognising and distinguishing between faces, even those of people the person knows well.
It is a neurological disorder that requires timely medical attention.
The main symptom is that one fails to recognise faces even of people they tend to know.
Other signs can be the inability to recognize emotions on one’s face, not being able to know the gender or age of people, and not being able to recognise cars, animals, one’s gender, and characters in the film.
While the exact cause of face blindness is not fully understood, it is thought to be related to abnormalities in the brain’s fusiform gyrus, which is responsible for face recognition.
