5 Impossible Things Your Brain Can Do
You don't have to be a savant to have savant-like abilities. In her post "Tap Into the Inner Genius You Didn't Know You Had", Dr. Chris Glibert described Acquired Savant Syndrome, a rare condition that sometimes occurs after trauma to Left Anterior Temporal Lobe (LATL). Dr Gilbert explained that a few patients with damage to the LATL suddenly develop artistic or musical talents that may exist in all of us, but are inhibited by a healthy LATL. Fortunately, its's impossible for all of us - or, at least all who are females of a certain age (more about than later) - to bring out extraordinary abilities that we never knew our brains possessed without damaging our brains, or even temporarily suppressing the LATL by overworking it with Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), as Dr. Gilbert reported in her blog.
