Hemispherectomy: When half the brain is better than the whole | Aria Fallah, MD | UCLAMDChat 

yess thats right watch episode 2 of "Diagnosis" in Netflix

i believe you might be referring to deep brain stimulation. they have tried it with parkinson’s and tourette’s

You are referring to a common, minimally invasive neurosurgery called brain laser ablation.

1 half of you is alive and 1 half is dead

It's a problem without a solution.

Why you wouldn't be?

In my opinion it is because the hemispherectomy does not target certain life sustaining rehions such as brainstem and thalamus based on surgical precision and anatomical imaging preventing the neurosurgeon from damaging these key life sustaining regions. So they likely survive ig.

Wat about the removed brain part, i mean wat they do with dat???? Pls reply
