The Brain That Remade Itself – OneZero

Novelty comments on Mar 2, 2019:

Interesting! Here's something I didn't see pointed out in the article. If the same section of brain had been removed from a child without the tumor the results would have been far more tragic. As the tumor grew and that side of the brain lost function, the other side of the brain had time to take ...

Tomfoolery33 replies on Mar 2, 2019:

They bring that up in the article, briefly, and they're not sure how much of that goes on before the surgery. They said the tumor can cause the brain to not function correctly, as far as re-mapping goes. But I'm sure a certain amount of it does happen. We just don't know how much.
