A neurological disorder characterized by loss of the ability to write, often resulting from brain damage or stroke.
From Greek 'a-' (without) + 'graphia' (writing), literally meaning 'inability to write,' a medical term for a specific language deficit.
Patients with agraphia can speak fluently but can't write—neuroscientists use this 'dissociation' to prove that writing uses completely different brain pathways than speech!
