Girl Sees Fine With Half a Brain
• LiveScienceA 10-year-old girl from Germany has had quite a normal life despite the
fact she was born with only half her brain. Even more surprising,
she has almost perfect vision in one of her eyes.
Now, scientists have figured out why. The girl's brain rewired itself —
likely in the womb — so that it's able to process information from both
the right and left fields of vision even though she is missing the right brain hemisphere, which failed to develop while she was in the womb.
