Imagine the most sophisticated technology ever created-not a smartphone or quantum computer, but the three-pound universe inside your skull. Unlike computers with separate hardware and software, our brains are "livewired"-constantly reshaping their physical structure based on our experiences. When three-year-old Matthew collapsed one morning and was later diagnosed with Rasmussen's encephalitis, doctors had to remove half his brain. As his parents waited anxiously in recovery, they wondered: who would their son be with only half a brain? The answer reveals the brain's remarkable adaptability-Matthew's remaining brain rewired itself to take over missing functions, allowing him to live a nearly normal life despite such dramatic neural loss. This isn't magic but the fundamental nature of our brains-dynamic, flowing systems constantly reweaving themselves into living electric fabric.
