Structural images from a Caltech investigation of six of rare hemispherectomy patients, all of whom received the surgeries as children and now have relatively normal cognitive abilities. Brain networks in these patients - controlling walking, talking, and other functions - were remarkably intact. This study, published in Cell Reports [https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:20191119-095728876] was funded by The Brain Recovery Project: Childhood Epilepsy Surgery Foundation, the National Institutes of Health, and the National Science Foundation.
