Strange things happen with strokes. Ever notice that often stroke victims can’t speak but they can still curse?
Gee..never heard of that but the brain is an amazing organ.Having worked for a Neuropathologist for a while and having watched many Science Channel/PBS type documentaries on the brain I become more and more fascinated.
I saw a documentary once that focused on different cures for serious seizure disorders (epilepsy).One treatment (experimental,I think) was to sever the "corpus collosum" which connects the two hemispheres of the brain.In such patients you can,for example,put an easily identifiable object in their hand while they're blindfolded and they can't *tell* you (verbally) what it is they're holding but they can write it down.There were many other equally wierd things as well.I find stuff like that beyond amazing!
