Can you imagine?
This finding puzzled scientists who were compelled to reassess our understanding of the brain and its relationship with the rest of the body.
Let’s address this in the opening line: it is a MYTH that you only utilize 10 percent of your brain.
Although this idea has been conclusively rejected by scientists worldwide, it is indeed true that there remains a vast amount we do not understand about the brain.
However, most would concur that losing half of your brain is quite problematic. Well, not necessarily, at least that was not the case for this unnamed French man who appeared to live his life without any issues.
The then 44-year-old man sought medical attention after experiencing mild pain and weakness in his leg for approximately two weeks, wishing to ensure that it wasn’t something major.

Experiencing leg pain is quite common and is frequently attributed to muscle strain, arthritis, or more elusive problems, similar to this situation.
I can only imagine his surprise upon discovering that he was missing more than half of his brain.
