When Your Brain Rewrites Reality
A man reaches for his coffee with an arm that no longer exists. A woman insists her paralyzed hand works perfectly, even as it lies motionless. Another patient laughs uncontrollably at her mother's funeral, unable to stop despite her horror. These aren't tales from science fiction-they're real neurological conditions that reveal something extraordinary: your brain is constantly constructing the reality you experience, and sometimes that construction goes spectacularly wrong. Through these medical mysteries, we discover that consciousness isn't a passive receiver of information but an active storyteller, constantly editing and revising the narrative of who we are and what we perceive. Each bizarre symptom becomes a clue in understanding how our minds create the seamless experience we call reality.
