"reports from a brain scan that supposedly indicated that Terri's brain had atrophied to 20% of its original size "

Good point. Even after two weeks of dehydration, her brain was still half the size of a normal brain.

On sciencedaily.com Brain shrinkage not linked to learning!

Just because the brain is shriveled doesn't mean she wasn't home.

The brain doesn't loose fluid even if you die of dehydration. it's a well know fact, so that "theory" is bogus.

No. It was half the weight of a normal brain. Not the same thing.
