Hyperfamiliarity for Faces
Neurol 74:970-974, Devinsky,O.,et al, 2010
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
This modality (visual)-specific and stimulus (face)-specific syndrome is associated with diverse structural, functional imaging, and neurophysiologic findings. Lesions are more often left-sided and involve the temporal lobe. Epilepsy and seizures were present in all 9 cases, suggesting a pathophysiologic relationship, which likely varies among cases. Although only reported in 9 patients, HFF is probably much more common than it is diagnosed.
