126 IQ math genius discovered to have no brain!

SHEFFIELD, England (PNN) - May 3, 2022 - A top mathematics degree-holding “genius student” was found to actually have “no brain” according to doctors who examined him. Despite his lack of gray matter, he is able to live well and has an IQ of 126. This begs the question: how does the brain work?

In 1980, Science magazine published an article that described this shocking phenomenon. This was a “genius student” who graduated with honors, had an IQ of 126, and totally normal cognitive and social function.

His doctor noticed that his head was slightly larger than the average person’s, and this prompted him to give the student a CAT scan, and the results made him do a double take.

A normal person’s brain has a thickness of about 4.5 centimeters, and many studies correlate a thicker brain with higher intelligence. However, this student’s brain was found to be only 1 millimeter thick. He was essentially without a brain.

Actually, this student’s circumstances are not unique to him alone.

Inside a normal person’s head, there is a left brain, right brain, as well as cerebrospinal fluid. Cerebrospinal fluid is a transparent fluid that circulates around the cerebrum and spine. But for some people, their cerebrospinal fluid does not circulate normally, and it actually accrues in the brain, resulting in hydrocephalus, or fluid build-up in the brain. The brain’s other constituent parts, under the weight of the fluid become thinner and thinner, resulting in 50%-90% of the brain’s components to thus be replaced by the fluid. This makes it so such people appear to not actually have a brain.

The pediatrics department at University of Sheffield in England is one of the largest for spine care in the world. Professor of neuroscience John Lorber was an expert on hydrocephalus and had conducted systematic research on an array of pathological cases. He has done research on over 600 hydrocephalic infants, some cases light, some heavy. In the heavy cases, 95% of the brain was occupied by water. But he discovered that in the most severe case of hydrocephalus, there was a surprising surplus over 50% of infants with IQ over 100. This of course meant that their lives and studies were not different from regular people. These so called “no-brain” people are really interesting.

These people afflicted with fluid build-up and acuity of brain size not only have normal social skills, but also incredible academic achievements. Even though Professor Lorber’s research didn’t prove that humans don’t need a brain, it did prove that a person can function and live normally even when his or her brain is very small, or practically non-existent, and these people can even have very high intellects.

People’s thoughts, recognitive ability, and wisdom seemingly don’t come from the brain. This really makes people think: from where do people’s thoughts come?

A lot of neuroscientists, upon seeing Lorber’s work, have proposed there may be an “unseen brain” or a brain in a deeper realm or dimension, and that the functions of the brain originate from a place that is not limited to just the surface of the brain.

Professor of Anatomy at London University Patrick Wall said, “For hundreds of years, neurologists have always considered people’s thoughts to originate from the brain’s surface level. But in actuality, a lot of these functions may originate from a deeper level, and not just from the surface.”

Harvard Neuroscientist Norman Geschwind thinks that it is “undeniable that the deeper structure of the brain is integral to many functions of the body.”

Professor of Biology David Bowsher from the University of Liverpool posits that “it is almost certain that the brain has some deeper structures and mechanisms that are advanced and important than those recognized today.”

As for the “no-brain” cases, Professor of Biology and Chemistry Donald Forsdyke brought up in the year 2015 that “thoughts are potentially able to exist in a very microscopic form that is smaller than atoms,” but that this form that they exist in is still unknown to biologists and biochemists. Perhaps they are stored “outside of our bodies.” Of course, to speak of memories outside the body, we are touching upon a concept that is still a little abstract. The soul, or spirit. The Unseen Body.

In 1963, the Nobel Health prize winner Australian neurophysiologist Sir John Carew Eccless considered people’s “thoughts” and “brain” itself to be two separate entities. There is an unseen and immaterial “thought” that exists within the brain, and that “thought” controls the brain to initiate action. However, when the physical brain dies, this “unseen body” and “unseen brain” still continue to exist and can perform action and show signs of life.

There are also some scientists who have done some research on some bodies that were near death, including those that were published about the massive earthquake event in Tangshan in China. The researchers all found, when some people were near death, and their brains were not active, they were able to clearly analyze and perceive everything that was happening around them and were even able to observe their own bodies from outside of their bodies. This made them believe that humans, in addition to having a physical body that physical eyes can observe, also have an “unseen body” that exists; and that “body which is not seen” can extricate itself from the existing physical body.

Yet there were these recent cases.: Some people afflicted with the coronavirus had 2% of their brains damaged, and as a result were unable to function or take care of themselves; but, when the people who had hydrocephalus were living with nonexistent brains, they were functioning quite normally, and were able to take care of themselves quite well. What is the reason for this?

The key in these studies could perhaps lie in whether the “unseen body,” or the “deeper brain,” was damaged.

Modern medicine’s research of disease can only observe the human body composed of cells and molecules. In the last 200 years, the school of physics has discovered that atoms are separable, and that electrons, atomic nuclei, neutrons, and neutrinos exist. But using modern day medical apparatuses, such as microscopes, CT scan machines, B ultrasound, and X-rays, we can still only detect the level of molecules in the human body. If, for instance, the future humankind could detect more microscopic matter with a more powerful microscope, perhaps we would be able to detect and observe deeper into the depths of human existence.

Humankind’s understanding of the brain is still very limited, and it’s very possible that the brain is a mysterious and not-understood “mechanism” that simply has an effect when we are thinking.
