Blind woman sees again after heart attack.

Ladies and gentlemen, take my advice, pull down your pants and slide on the ice. -
Wow!
Can you imagine if she had only been blind because of misdiagnosed cataracts?!
P.S. You've been Spanked! -
Wow indeed. But wouldn't having blindness for more than a certain amount of time have stopped the part of the brain that does visual things from ever working again?
Where's the Doc? He should have some more details.

Only if those areas aren't fully developed yet. For example after you reach puberty that part of the brain is pretty much set. Doc could give you a better age, I'm sure. But a 3-year-old who goes blind, if given their sight back will have all kinds of problems because they never learned to read microexpressions, problems with icons versus objects, etc.
But a 10-year-old is pretty much all set.The Internet - where men are men, women are men, and teenage girls are FBI agents!

Well, most probably it never stops working actually...some recent studies suggest that these areas should be called something like "awareness of surroundings area" instead of simply "visual area" (people that can see were "blinded" for a week or something like that, and after few days the areas of the brain that process visual stumili started to be quite active again, which is interesting especially since it suggests existence of pathways that can feed them with touch/sound stimuli)Originally posted by J1NG
So generally those areas are quite ellastic, and while in person that can see they deal mostly with what eyes give them (since this gives most info about surroundings), they can probably change their "mode of operation" somehow rapidly.
