He could recognize letters, but he couldn&#8217;t combine them together as words.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Mike quickly linked this to his history of smoking and <a href=\"http:\/\/nymag.com\/scienceofus\/2016\/08\/the-man-who-woke-up-one-morning-and-forgot-how-to-read.html\">hypertension<\/a>. But, he couldn&#8217;t\u00a0bear\u00a0the difficulty for long. He therefore approached neurologists, to check\u00a0what had happened, fearing that\u00a0it could be stroke &#8211; the only issue was reading: there was nothing wrong with his vision, hearing and thinking.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Mike was diagnosed with <strong>\u201cpure alexia&#8221;<\/strong> After an\u00a0M.R.I. scan of\u00a0his brain\u00a0revealed a pea-sized stroke in his left inferior occipitotemporal cortex &#8211; the portion of the brain which processes visual information.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Pure alexia refers to the selective loss of reading ability in previously <a href=\"https:\/\/www.psychologyandi.com\/7-things-no-one-tells-you-about-adult-life\/\">literate adults<\/a>, following injury to the posterior left hemisphere.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Mike&#8217;s neurologist, Peter Turkeltaub, who is also the director of Georgetown University\u2019s Cognitive Recovery Laboratory, explained to\u00a0Barron, how\u00a0Brennan&#8217;s case was unusual:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This particular case was unusual only because the alexia was caused by a very small stroke.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>&#8211; a tiny stroke in his\u00a0left inferior occipitotemporal cortex.<\/p>\n<h4>Read also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.psychologyandi.com\/the-eating-habit-that-wipes-out-memory-and-learning\/\">The Eating Habit That Wipes Out Memory And Learning<\/a><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">According to Barron, what made Mike&#8217;s diagnosis\u00a0noteworthy\u00a0was that, it was the first\u00a0case that such a small stroke had caused a disorder which usually results from significant injuries. And how his case helped solved a\u00a0decades-long debate on how the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.psychologyandi.com\/4-brain-misconceptions-that-refuse-to-die\/\">brain understands<\/a> words.<\/p>\n<pre style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Further Reading:<\/strong><\/span>\nDaniel Barron.
