We wanted to know if there was a special part of the brain for recognizing faces, and there was already reason to think there might be such a thing based on this phenomenon of prosopagnosia that I described a moment ago, but nobody had ever seen that part of the brain in a normal person, so we set out to look for it.
Queríamos saber se existia uma parte do cérebro para reconhecer rostos. Já tínhamos razões para acreditar que sim baseados no fenómeno da prosopagnosia, que descrevi há momentos. Mas nunca se tinha visto essa parte do cérebro numa pessoa normal. Fomos à procura.
