The Woman With A Hole In Her Brain

This article was very interesting. It was discovered in China that a woman has been living with her entire cerebellum missing. In all other cases like this the person has died when they were a child. However, this woman has only been affect through minor skills such as slurred speech and dizziness. The doctors aren't really sure how to explain it.

The frontal lobe, located at the front of the brain, is one of the four major lobes of the cerebral cortex in the mammalian brain. The frontal lobe plays a large role in voluntary movement. It houses the primary motor cortex which regulates activities like walking. The function of the frontal lobe involves the ability to project future consequences resulting from current actions, the choice between good and bad actions (conscience), the override and suppression of socially unacceptable responses, and the determination of similarities and differences between things or events. Strokes are common causes of frontal lobe damage in older adults. You can still live with frontal lobe damage, but may notice symptoms similar to Alzheimer's disease or Parkinson's disease.
