Agnosia comes from the greek word for ignorance or absence of knowledge. Patients with agnosia fail to recognize certain objects, people, and shapes, and is usually associated with brain injury or neurological illnesses such as stroke or dementia. There is no direct cure but patients sometimes improve over time through therapies.
