Doc Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 What's amazing is that he had a cerebellum in utero. I could understand if he never had one and another part of the brain assumed the functions of the cerebellum (and pons). Although, I wonder if after both disappeared (for whatever reason), his occipital lobe (responsible for sight, which he doesn't have) assumed their functions?
The Poojer Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 WOW! I wonder how he does those normal things?
Wacka Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 I saw on TLC once about this teenage girl who was perfectly normal. She got in a car accident and needed a CAT scan or MRI of her head. They found her cereberum was only a 1/2-1 thick layer just inside of her skull. Where most of the brain was supposed to be was cerebro-spinal fluid. She went on to get a college degree and is living a normal life.
