Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Visual form agnosia is a disorder of object recognition in which the patient is unable to recognize objects despite being able to see them clearly. This type of agnosia is usually caused by damage to the lateral occipital cortex, which is involved in processing visual information about objects. Damage to other areas, such as the primary visual cortex or the prefrontal cortex, may cause other types of visual impairments, but not usually visual form agnosia. The lateral geniculate nucleus is part of the thalamus and is involved in relaying visual information to the cortex, but it is not usually directly involved in object recognition.
