Brain Plasticity - the story of Jody

This is the incredible story of Jody who had the right hemisphere of her brain removed.

Since birth, epileptic seizure originating from the right hemisphere of her brain caused such violent fits that doctors had no choice but to completely remove the right hemisphere.

This brain has the incredible ability to re-invent itself, allowing the left hemisphere of Jody's brain to take over some of the right hemisphere functions, in particular most of her left-body motor functions.
