Reflection. Following a sequence of temporal lobe seizures, I lost positive emotions. My theory is that recognition is not based solely on visual information. The image is identified
and associated with emotional information. When that emotional coloring is missing, the image seems foreign. Even when it is your own mirror image. Similarly, family members can
suddenly seem alien and unfamiliar. Some research scientists stated "The temporal lobe is exquisitely prone to insult". I agree. (Whether it is from drugs that target the functions
of the temporal lobe, or emotional stress.)
