The brain adapts: Boy’s brain rewired itself to compensate when a huge piece was removed

Our advances in technology are nothing short of amazing. Things that we once thought were impossible, technology has helped us explore, and even accomplish, these things — and possibly, even more. These, however, come with an unintended consequence: Since the 20th century, our exposure to electromagnetic (EM) radiation, especially from artificial sources, has markedly increased […]
