Terri has a normal amount of cortex, but it is being compressed by fluid on her brain that NEEDS to be shunted off.

Is that what is causing that blotch on her brain? (Referring to the x-rays shown on LKlive?)

Thanks for the ping and your continued interest. I e-mailed Greta.

If so she's gone 10 years with a squished cortex. I hope there's enough left to remember just what happened on that staircase.

This is an important point. We need to e-mail Greta and others about the fluid on the brain.

Yes, exactly. Each CAT scan shows only a thin cross section, so the machine takes dozens of them. Felos carries around the ONE that shows the MOST water, and therefore claims her skull is empty, "no cortex at all".
