Save for later reading. This topic fascinates me. So many people are diagnosed with disorders today, that I wonder if what’s being ignored is that the tendency to think differently is absolutely okay.

Not always.

What I find especially incredible is how an injured or damaged brain somehow “rewires” itself, and parts known for certain functions and behaviors suddenly perform new functions.

A few years ago,while on "safari" in South Africa,I had the opportunity to meet a brain researchers from the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm.During the day our group went out looking for game and around dusk we went back to the camp for the night (tourists aren't allowed in the Park at night...too dangerous).
Around the fire we'd talk and,given that most of our group was made up of medical personnel,Marten kept us spellbound with his stories of the research that he and his colleagues were doing.
A humbling experience for me...certainly.

Unthinkable by science writer Helen Thomson and The Disordered Mind by neuroscientist Eric R. Kandel. Both books describe people with minds that dont work the same way as everyone elses.
Forwards are by Amy Farrahfowler.

Brings to mind the 50s or 60s sci-fi cult classic The Island of Doctor Moreau!

MRI's are not conclusive........
Can you get it up and perform like a 60 year old or is that all in your brain too?..........LOL!

“Had an MRI for squamous skin cancer and the MRI revealed that i have the brain of a 60 year old male, and i’m 90.”
I had a brain MRI, but they didn’t find anything.
Rimshot!
And I have the mind of an 8 year old!
Bada Boom!

How about a 4-yo like Mozart? Wore himself out before his time. Cast aside . . .

In England, she meets a man who, following a bathtub electrocution, became convinced that he was dead.
If he was “electrocuted” he is dead.

I was dead once. Came back after they shocked me and was in a coma for 10 days.

HRC had a brain MRI - and that’s when the doctors discovered she had hemorrhoids!
Rimshot!
