HALF A BRAIN IS ENOUGH (Book Review)

At age three, Nico had most of the right side of his brain removed ordisconnected to control life-threatening epileptic seizures. After following Nico's development for years, Antonio Battro, M.D., a Harvard visiting scholar who specializes in educating victiros of brain injury, concludes that Half a Brain Is Enough. Apart from some problems with motor skills, Nico seems quite normal. How can this be? Battro theorizes that Nico's brain restructured itself into a "new" brain--a speculation as fascinating as Nico himself.
