Even though many human questions have been resolved in the light of science and the curtains of mystery have been lifted from the dawn of humanity to the present day, there are still hundreds of unexplained things about the brain. Most of this of the striking examples one of them are people who have had half their brains removed!

Even minor damage and differences in the brain have serious consequences for human life, and it sounds terrifying to have half of it removed. We know that our brain consists of two parts, which resemble a walnut in appearance. What about half, that is, part? hold on to life Is it enough for?

Scientists at the California Institute of Technology signed an interesting study on this topic in 2019.

This scientific study examined six patients, 4 men and 2 women, who had epilepsy since childhood and could not be treated with drugs. by surgery half their brains removed The aim was to save patients from severe epileptic seizures.

Have you heard of epilepsy or told anyone close to you about this disease? hard to deal with You have witnessed a disease. Epilepsy, in which uncontrolled discharges occur in neurons responsible for heavy traffic in the brain, is one of the most common neurological disorders.

The study at the California Institute of Technology examined the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) results of these 6 people who did not examine half of their brains and healthy people. with MRI results compared.

The results of the study surprised everyone! When radiological images are taken as reference; between the brain activities of these 6 people who live with half a brain and the brain functions of healthy people. big deal turned out to be.

So it is possible to live with half a brain!

healthy part of the brain damaged it tries to increase network density to compensate to some extent for the lack of neuronal networks in the hemisphere.

In addition remember† understand information and reasoning It also significantly supports cognitive skills such as: Although there are regressions and problems in bodily functions compared to a healthy person, life goes on with half a brain!
