I’m a Scientist is like school science lessons meet the X Factor! School students choose which scientist gets a prize of $1000 to communicate their work.
Scientists and students talk on this website. They both break down barriers, have fun and learn. But only the students get to vote.
This zone is the Organs Zone. It has scientists studying health and disease in various parts of our bodies. Who gets the prize? YOU decide!
Nice question, convictions.
I think the answer might be that you can remove half of the brain. It’s called a “Hemispherectomy” and they sometimes do this when a person has terrible epilepsy that is coming from one side of the brain. You can survive with just one half of the brain. They only do this in EXTREME cases though.

Yep, half of the brain.

Although sometimes babies are born with no cerebrum (the big part)…just the brain stem. And they survive (sometimes for a few years). Though they aren’t really a completely functioning person…there is no conscious thought possible.
