Agnosia Gustatory

What is agnosia?

Agnosia is a disturbance in the perception of information that occurs as a result of damage to certain areas of the brain. In some cases, this disease can lead to loss of smell and taste. Although the two functions may seem different, they are related—many people who suffer from taste agnosia also have an impaired sense of smell. Because of its complexity, the human body produces and controls every function using several interconnected parts of the brain, divided into large areas.
