Savant syndrome

Savant syndrome is a rare phenomenon in which people with cognitive deficits in one or more very limited areas possess astonishing abilities – for example, reciting six-digit prime numbers or drawing a city correctly from memory in detail after flying over it. Probably the best-known savant was Kim Peek, the inspiration for the film Rain Man.
