Focal electrical intracerebral stimulation of a face-sensitive area causes transient prosopagnosia

Highlights ► Transient prosopagnosia from human brain intracerebral stimulation is reported. ► The recognition impairment is specific to faces. ► The area stimulated is functionally defined as the right ‘occipital face area’. ► A face-sensitive N170 potential is recorded directly in this area....
