ans Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn1230...ks-doctors.html A man with an unusually tiny brain manages to live an entirely normal life despite his condition, which was caused by a fluid build-up in his skull. Scans of the 44-year-old man's brain showed that a huge fluid-filled chamber called a ventricle took up most of the room in his skull, leaving little more than a thin sheet of actual brain tissue Images with article.

Gladys Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 Amazing. there was a documentary years and years ago about the brain and it featured a young girl who was born with the same condition with no impairment whatsoever in her brain function. Quite an incredible organ the old brain! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
