I loved learning about brain disorders this week. It was so interesting! My two favorites were Savant syndrome and Synesthesia. This made me wonder what other disorders are out there so I decided to research my own. I decided to research some information on Agnosia. Agnosia is a loss of knowledge. There are may diferent forms such as mirror agnosia where a person cannot tell if the object is real or a reflection. There is also color agnosia where a person cant recognize colors. Some of the causes include dementia, strokes, heredity, brain related injuries, or infections. some forms are genetic. Like all the other disorders, there is no medical cure, only ways to deal and cope with the disorder. Therapy is the most popular form of treatment and can sometimes reverse the effects of the disorder. Some of the symptoms are the inability to recognize people, colors, shapes, sounds, smells or objects. a patient has to go through many tests in order to be officially diagnosed with the disorder.
