The brain is a very difficult organ to understand. We know what some parts of the brain are responsible for.
But a few people had parts of their brains removed, because of tumors. They can't recognize anyone, even if they have known them for their whole life. Some people who have about the same brain activities as a face blind person, can recognize everyone they ever see. They can remember people that they have seen 10-20 years ago. These super-recognizers also have a hard time making friends, because they might have seen the person before, and it might make them look like a stalker.
