The man lives normally without 90% of the brain

The mystery about people only really uses 10% of the brain and has special abilities when 100% activation has been answered. This theory is completely wrong, because scientists have proven that people always use 100% of the brain. Each area has its own function and is extremely important.

But a man in France can live and function normally while hurting up to 90% of the brain. This fact has challenged scientists' prior knowledge and research, is truth about us using only 10% of the brain?

The 44-year-old man in France, who was unnamed, said he still had a perfectly normal life. Only one day, he went to the doctor because he felt his left leg had a problem.

Inside this man's skull filled with liquid, there is only a thin layer of brain tissue outside.

After conducting routine tests, he was taken for X-rays to check the function of the brain. The doctors after seeing the results were extremely surprised.

Inside this man's skull filled with liquid, there is only a thin layer of brain tissue outside. The inner parts of the brain are almost nothing.

Doctors say most of his brain has been corroded due to the accumulation of lateral fluids during the past 30 years. This strange disease is known as "hydrocephalus".

However, it is worth mentioning that this man did not encounter any problems of both activity and spirit. Although he passed the IQ test only 75 points, he was still very lucid.

Inside the skull.

He even did a good job as a civil servant. He also married and had 2 children. His life is no different from a normal person.

Do humans need only 10% of the brain?

The truth about the French man above refuted all previous research by scientists about the true function of the brain. Whether our brains use up 100% of the areas, or just using 10% continues to be a question without an answer.

Cognitive psychologist Axel Cleeremans from Libre de Bruxelles University, Belgium has come up with a controversial hypothesis but can explain the phenomenon. It is the brain that does not divide into regions with functions available when we are born.

Instead, the brain will self-study and divide tasks for each region in the process we develop. If we develop normally, the brain will divide tasks for all areas in a uniform way.

Does our brain use 100% of all areas, or only 10%?

But in the case of a man with only 10% of the brain, the development process is different, making the remaining part of the brain learn to be able to handle all these tasks. Cleeremans' hypothesis can explain why with 10% of the brain, a person can remain active and conscious as usual.

However, it is only true if the brain has time to study to be able to redistribute the task. If in another case, an adult has 90% damage to the brain. At that time, the brain clearly distributed tasks to each area, if those areas were damaged, it would directly affect their activities and perceptions.

This hypothesis also opens a new door for scientists to study the mysteries of the brain. It means that the human brain is 100% active, but can continue to increase if trained.

These mysteries are still being studied by scientists.
