MCRA: Govt’s plan to delete ‘PR’ in Malaysia’s citizenship laws will affect ‘red IC’ natives’ children the most, remove foundlings’ protectionFor people with the extremely rare visual condition called prosopometamorphopsia — or PMO for shor — faces appear distorted in a variety of ways.
For people with this condition, faces appear distorted in a variety of ways. While Sharrah sees demons, some see elves, PMO researcher Antonio Mello told AFP.For some patients, one half of a face droops below the other. Others see purple or green faces, or ones constantly in motion. For other PMO patients, the faces on the photos would have also appeared distorted, making such a comparison difficult.“What people don’t understand when they see those pictures is that in real life that face is moving — gesturing and talking.”Jason Barton, a neurologist at the University of British Columbia not involved in the new study, said that PMO is a “symptom, not a disorder,” so could have multiple causes.
But Mello said he did not believe this was related to PMO, because MRI scans showed the lesion is on Sharrah’s hippocampus, a part of the brain “not associated with the face processing network”.But Mello said that more than 70 patients have contacted his lab over the last three years alone.Sharrah only learned about PMO after posting about his experience on an online support group for people with bipolar disorder.
Because PMO patients know what they are seeing is not real, many face a difficult decision. Is it worth telling people how grotesque they look, at the risk of sounding crazy?
