Speech perception
Agnosia is "the loss or diminution of the ability to recognize familiar objects or stimuli usually as a result of brain damage". There are several different kinds of agnosia that affect every one of our senses, but the two most common related to speech are speech agnosia and phonagnosia.
Fusiform body area
There is evidence that the FBA plays a critical role in how individuals with Anorexia Nervosa (AN) perceive their own bodies and the bodies of others. In the article Body Image Distortion Reveals Amygdala Activation in Patients with Anorexia Nervosa - a Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging Study" by Gert Seeger and colleagues found that as well as amygdala activation (the brain's fear network), there was activation in the right gyrus fusiform in anorectic patients, but not healthy age-matched controls. This suggests that due to being overly aware and critical of body forms, increased activation in what we now know as the FBA is to be expected. As this study was conducted before the identification of the FBA, the fusiform gyrus activation can be considered previous evidence for the FBA being involved in body perception.
