Become a painter with half the brain

A girl from Petersburg, Russia, had her brain removed in a car accident that not only survived, returned to normal life but also revealed a natural talent. She started painting.

Three years ago, a terrible car accident caused a serious injury to the young girl Taicia Sidorova in the first half. The bones pierced deep into the brain. Doctors have to remove the left hemisphere, corresponding to language, analytical and logical thinking. These are now inserted with protective plates.

Doctors do not expect that slender girl to survive the most deadly accident and return to normal life. They told her mother that she would be paralyzed for life, even living a plant life. The mother recounted that the girl was 'like a bunch of vegetables'. On the first day of the new year, she sat on her bed crying. She suddenly woke up, hugged her mother and wiped her tears. Then her consciousness recovered gradually.

Taixia Sidorova's talent appeared when she was still in hospital treatment. Psychologists recommend that she draw because it is also a cure for mental illness, which benefits the brain. The girl drew with her left hand, because the left hemisphere was removed so she could not control her right hand.

When she was discharged from the hospital, she was taught by a female painter. Taicia has now become a famous talent in painting, highly appreciated by critics, though she has never paid attention to the art before. The painter Ludmila Ostrovskaya, who taught her the drawing, said: 'After the accident, Taicia became a different person. She is a natural talent '.

The doctors were amazed at her talent. They said the remaining hemisphere has been removed from the hemisphere's function. So now she has life like everyone else.
