Facial recognition built into our brain

There are neurons in the visual cortex that specialize in this.
What features are primarily "hooked" by the brain?
Eye shape

So the neurons make the first conclusion — is this a human face or not.
After that, the brain compares it with other images stored in memory and recognizes a familiar person.

When this area of the cortex is affected, the possibility of "recognition" is lost

But visual acuity may remain at the same level, since other neurons are responsible for it.
