Question: what is the weirdest thing about the human brain that you know?

That’s a great question because I could answer about the shape of the brain, or the things it can do, the mistakes it can make…

One thing *really* weird about the brain is that it is – sort of – made up of two completely separate halves. The left and right halves (hemispheres) go about their day-to-day tasks and communicate via a part in between called the corpus callosum. If that part is surgically removed the hemispheres can’t speak to each other anymore. This results in one body containing two separate “half” versions of you. Sometimes, these half versions disagree on things.

Thanks for the great question orange11. If you’re still interested in weird brain stuff, feel free to ask more 🙂
