I remember that story.....she had severe seizures and violent outbursts if it is the same story I am thinking of. Removing the left hemisphere would stop any future seizures and the violent outburst were completely eliminated. I also remember that the exposed corpus collosum allowed the reconnection of severed neural pathways so they she could regain some cognitive development. Yes......I am a geek:) Anyway, it was interesting for her but we do not know where personality and behavior reside so how could we know what part of the brain to either remove or paralyze, etc. I am going to be very general here although you can imagine it is much more involved than just this: there are a lot of theories about aggression, depression, etc.and where in the brain they actually reside. When a person goes blind or deaf and they had seen or heard in the past, their other senses become more finely tuned due to the same responses of the brain in the girl's situation. Stimuli that is not being received by the brain from those organs that are now obsolete allow more energy to be used by the body in other stimulus areas such as touch, taste, etc. hence the increase in sensitivity and increase stimulus response in those areas. I am no expert but I have studied a bunch of bio organics and drug carrier molecules which is what my thesis work was about. Well, I don't think the ethics board at any research hospital will condone any type of reseach in this area "just for study". You know, removing a part of someone's brain in the name of research isn't gonna happen anytime soon! By the way (you probably already know), in a PET scan of the corpus colossum, it has been found that schizophrenia has a very real physical manifestation. There is some malformation in the corpus area and it is present in all true schiz patients. That is non invasive so maybe they need to go down some of those roads in research. The corpus colossum is a hot ticket item since it links both sides of the brain where neural pathways cross to each side........lots of critical neural crosslinking activity here and any physical malformations can disrupt some of those pathways. This is why there is no "cure" for schizophrenia. It occurs in such a sensitive area and you can't just operate on it and simply "fix" it.
