  • No Brain No problem

    Ever had the feeling that the person you are talking to is lacking gray matter?

    WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A man with an unusually tiny brain managed to live an entirely normal life despite his condition, caused by a fluid buildup in his skull, French researchers reported on Thursday.

    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.

    If there's artificial intelligence, there's bound to be some artificial stupidity.

        There is a similar case in the US where the remaining tissue is only a few millmeters thick, basically the expected 2.9mm +/- of neocortex and some gray matter, but in that case the mans intelligence is above average. IIRC the Science Channel did a program about him.

          Perhaps he was thinking with the “other” brain, or they just scanned the wrong one ….

            I see a potential joke here aimed at the French and/or Civil Servants...
            I'll let you write your own joke.
