A baby is God's opinion that life should go on

Sandburg, Carl

Is brain damage good for you?

I just read that frontal lobe brain damage helped people solve a mat puzzle (

here). There are reports that people with brain damage have shown psychic abilities. Is this true? Is brain damage actually helpful in some areas? Why is that?

Would you like to answer or comment?

The frontal lobes are involved in motor function, problem solving, spontaneity, memory, language, initiation, judgement, impulse control, and social and sexual behavior.

TBI (traumatic brain injury) in this erea can cange your behavior, cause loss of fine movements and strength, loss of spontaneous facial expressions, difficulty in speaking and in the formation of verbal abilities, impaired associated learning, decision making, difficulty in interpreting feedback from the environment - these are only part of the "negative effects" that frontal lobes brain damage can cause.

I think the puzzle solving is a negligible good effect..

Any benefits from a frontal lobotamy are negated by negative changes in personality. It just isn't worth it.
