Σύμφωνα με την αφαντασία, υγιείς άνθρωποι αδυνατούν να φέρουν εικόνες στο μυαλό τους, είτε πρόκειται για το ηλιοβασίλεμα, είτε για τα πρόσωπα των αγαπημένων τους. - Eirinika
Παρά την πλήρη αδυναμία των νευρολόγων να εξηγήσουν την αφαντασία, η μελέτη του Δρ Ζέμαν έφερε ανακούφιση στον νεαρό ασθενή. «Υπάρχει πλέον ένα όνομα που μπορώ να χρησιμοποιώ» σχολιάζει. - in.gr
