Prosopagnosia or "face blindness" where the brain has difficulty recognizing faces.
Did you know that a different part of the brain deals with facial recognition as opposed to recognizing your car or which pair of shoes are yours? This part of the brain may be injured in an accident or stroke or a person may even be born with this ailment.
Everyone sometimes has trouble recognizing faces, and it is even more common for people to have trouble remembering other people's names. Prosopagnosia is much more severe than these everyday problems that everyone experiences. Prosopagnosics often have difficulty recognizing people that they have encountered many times. In extreme cases, prosopagnosics have trouble recognizing even those people that they spend the most time with such as their spouses and their children.
One of the telltale signs of prosopagnosia is great reliance on non-facial information such as hair, gait, clothing, voice, and other information. Prosopagnosics also sometimes have difficulty imagining the facial appearance of acquaintances. One of the most common complaints of prosopagnosics is that they have trouble following the plot of television shows and movies, because they cannot keep track of the identity of the characters.

you can do a short introduction on these two subjects-they are the opposite of each other but interesting.
myasthenia gravis--it works from the mind down to the ground.
guillian barre--it works from the ground to the brain.
just look it up on the internet for basic info.
you will find that this disease weakens muscles and in time can affect the muscles in the lungs and people can't breath on their own.
