Agnosia
Agnosia is a neurological disorder that affects the brain’s ability to process sensory information. People with agnosia may lose the ability to recognize objects, sounds, shapes, or smells, even though their sensory organs function normally. It is often linked to brain injuries or neurological illnesses, particularly damage to the occipitotemporal border, which is part of the ventral stream.
Types of Agnosia:
Visual Agnosia: Inability to recognize objects by sight.
Auditory Agnosia: Difficulty distinguishing sounds, including speech.
Tactile Agnosia: Trouble identifying objects by touch.
Anosognosia: Lack of awareness of one's own condition.
Prosopagnosia: Inability to recognize faces.
Causes:
Stroke
Brain injury
Neurodegenerative diseases (e.g., Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s)
Tumors affecting sensory processing areas
Treatment:
Neurological rehabilitation
Cognitive therapy
Speech and occupational therapy

آگنوزی یک اختلال عصبی است که بر توانایی مغز در پردازش اطلاعات حسی تأثیر میگذارد. افراد مبتلا به آگنوزی ممکن است توانایی تشخیص اشیاء، صداها، شکلها یا بوها را از دست بدهند، حتی اگر اندامهای حسی آنها به طور طبیعی کار کنند. این بیماری اغلب با آسیبهای مغزی یا بیماریهای عصبی، به ویژه آسیب به مرز پسسری-گیجگاهی که بخشی از جریان شکمی است، مرتبط است.
انواع آگنوزی:
آگنوزی بصری: ناتوانی در تشخیص اشیاء از طریق بینایی.
آگنوزی شنیداری: دشواری در تشخیص صداها، از جمله گفتار.
آگنوزی لمسی: مشکل در شناسایی اشیاء از طریق لمس.
آنوسوگنوزی: عدم آگاهی از وضعیت خود.
پروزوپاگنوزی: ناتوانی در تشخیص چهرهها.
علل:
سکته مغزی
آسیب مغزی
بیماریهای نورودژنراتیو (مانند آلزایمر، پارکینسون)
تومورهایی که بر نواحی پردازش حسی تأثیر میگذارند
درمان:
توانبخشی عصبی
درمان شناختی
گفتاردرمانی و کاردرمانی
مدیریت بیماریهای زمینهای
