| Popis: | A case review of prosopagnosia was carried out and male-female incidence of the disorder compared to relative male-female incidence of cerebro-vascular disease in general. Prosopagnosia was found to occur significantly more frequently in males than in females. Possible implications of this finding vis-a-vis male-female differences in cerebral organization are discussed and topics for further investigation are suggested. |
