A recent study sheds light on the experience of a woman who- to the utter surprise of doctors- despite having lived most of her life missing a key part of her brain, has barely been affected by it. Her case is both a testament to the human brain's seemingly limitless flexibility and to the ever-evolving understanding of the idea of what its "normal" is.
