Acquired Savant Syndrome (ASS)
Acquired Savant Syndrome (ASS) is a rare condition where individuals develop exceptional skills or talents after suffering from a brain injury or disease. These skills can be in areas like art, music, mathematics, or memory.
ASS is often associated with:
- Traumatic brain injury
- Stroke
- Brain infections
- Neurodegenerative diseases
The exact mechanisms behind ASS are not fully understood, but research suggests that it may involve:
- Compensatory brain reorganization
- Release of previously inhibited skills
- Neuroplasticity
ASS is distinct from Savant Syndrome, which is often present from birth or early childhood. Acquired Savant Syndrome highlights the brain's remarkable ability to adapt and reorganize itself in response to injury or disease.
