The functionality of the fusiform gyrus allows most people to recognize faces in more detail than they do similarly complex inanimate objects.Ībout Me - Opt out - OP can reply !delete to delete - Article of the day The specific brain area usually associated with prosopagnosia is the fusiform gyrus, which activates specifically in response to faces.
