Daily Links Excerpt of the Day
Fall, who now lives with her husband and two children in Menifee, Calif., takes part in the research not with hopes of helping her own cause — there are no treatment options for prosopagnosia, just coping mechanisms — but with the idea that she is helping to advance the scientific knowledge of how our brains work.
“I’m trying to pay it forward,” said Fall, who was in Iowa last week for tests at UI. “I look at what they’re doing, and the progress they make. I’m not so hopeful to think that what I’m doing today will have an impact on my epilepsy or my prosopagnosia, but I see the impact it’s having in other areas, and it’s exciting. ... I’m giving something that so many people are going to gain so much from.”
