There is a misconception that we only use 10 percent of our brain. However, this idea is not true at all. Scientists have already proven this idea to be completely false. We actually use our entire brain all the time. However, for those who have a stroke, brain injury, or survive surgery, the situation may be a little different. Scientists have tested and found that people can live normally even if 100 percent of their brain is not functioning. So the question arises, what percentage of the brain is needed to live normally? That is, how much of the brain is healthy can you live normally?
Neuroscientists are still looking for an answer to this question. But it is probably not possible to answer this question in one word. Which part of the brain was injured, why it was injured, when it was injured, and what kind of injury it was – all these factors determine how healthy a person can live. Scientists have even studied how people can live normally even if part of the brain is completely removed. You may be surprised to know that you can live normally even if some parts of the brain are inactive.
Let’s listen to the story of a woman to fully understand the matter. Her name is Izzy. A simple health check reveals that the entire left temporal lobe of his brain is missing. This part is located near the ear. This part of the brain is usually very important for language comprehension, hearing, and memory. According to the doctor, this part of his brain may have been damaged due to a cyst he had in his childhood.
