People born without brains still live healthy, IQ is higher than ordinary people

Although there is no brain like a normal person or only a part of the brain, these people still live very well, even get married, give birth and be smarter than ordinary people.

The human body always hides countless mysteries that science cannot explain. One of the agencies always causes experts a headache about its ability to be the brain.

Many people believe that the human brain plays an extremely important role, without the brain it will be difficult to live. But in the world, there are cases where there is no extremely small brain or brain but they still live healthy, normal and even superior intellectual property.

The strangest brainless cases in the world

1. Mathematics student IQ 126 even without brain

There are cases where there is no brain or brain that is extremely small but they still live healthy.

In 1935, Professor Lorber of Sheffield University, when treating a math student, was surprised to discover that this guy had no brain.

Before that, the doctors found that the student had a slightly larger head size than a normal person, so he introduced him to Professor Lorber.

After examining the student's brain, the professor was surprised because he had only 1mm of brain tissue on the top of his spine. While a normal brain will have two hemispheres that fill the skull cavity. Moreover, the student also suffers from meningitis - cerebrospinal fluid is blocked inside the brain instead of circulating around the brain.

And even more strange is that even though there is no brain, this guy not only lives healthy, but IQ is up to 126, he is excellent and attained an honorary degree in Mathematics.

2. Having a leg pain to see a doctor knows that I don't have a brain

One of the first cases of a person who could live a healthy life without a brain published in the Lancen study told the story of a 44-year-old man who went to see Timone Hospital (Marseille) for the pain. on the left leg.

The doctors at the hospital were amazed when they saw the film of this person's brain because only a little brain was in the skull, the rest were all liquid, gray matter and white matter were not seen.

What is even more surprising is that in the medical record, he has had a brain fluid since he was 6 months old, but still lives normally, married and has 2 children. However, his IQ is lower than 75 but he is not classified as a brain defect.

The film captures the "empty" brain of a 44-year-old man who still lives well, married and gave birth.

However this is not the first adult case to live normally even though the brain does not exist. In 2014, a 24-year-old Chinese woman went to a hospital in Shandong Province to see a doctor when she had dizziness and nausea.

According to the woman, she always had difficulty walking and it was not until 6 years that she spoke. The doctors then checked and discovered in the woman's skull instead of containing the brain, which contained only liquid.

3. The baby is famous all over the world for having a small brain but still living well

The case of brainlessness that has lived well recently and most famously is the story of little boy Aaron Murray, a Lanarkshire, Scotland. Baby born in 2013 and born with Hydranencephaly disease - a disease similar to hydrocephalus, ie almost no brain but only a very small part of the brain is formed.

This is an extremely rare disease in children and most babies will die before birth. Doctors once claimed Aaron could only live a few minutes or a few hours after his birth.

The brain shooting movie of the boy Aaron made many doctors surprised when there was no brain.

However, the miracle happened when the boy was still breathing well, his health was stable despite his lack of a brain. After 8 weeks of observation and surgery to reduce fluid accumulation in the brain, Aaron was sent home but the experts still thought he would not survive.

But Aaron proved otherwise when he was not only getting better, but also being very aware of everything around him, could smile, play and learn to speak like many other children.

Aaron is still alive and well, and still speaks very clearly.

Explanations in the scientific world

The above cases have opened a new perspective on the human brain. Because we have always believed that people need to have a brain to live.

But now there are people who do not have or lack a part but still live healthy, aware as ordinary people. Does another system replace the brain that controls everything?

There are many ways to explain these strange cases.

There have been many ways to explain these strange cases. One theory is that in the brain there is such a large amount of prophylactic material, just a few surviving cells also perform all the functions instead of the two missing hemispheres.

Another theory suggests that people actually use only a very small part of the brain. According to some scientists, the human body has two control systems: the nervous system - using nerve cells to transmit signals; and endocrine system - use hormones to transmit information.

So the loss of part of the brain or even the skull is empty, the human body can still sustain life and consciousness.

However, all of these points of view are speculative and there is no exact study or data. These cases are therefore still a mystery to science, at least at the present time.
