It freaks me out how much of the brain is expendable or fungible
There is a seizure treatment that involves literally cutting out an entire half of the brain. I guess it's more like 45% because there's a few important bits at the back they can't touch but for all intensive purposes it looks like they just chop off half the godamn loaf and afterwards the person wakes up exactly the same.

There's also a French guy who had a near lethal infection as a baby and only learned in his 40s during a hospital visit for a leg injury that he was missing 90% of his fucking brain, his entire life he had lived with nothing but a thin film of cells around the inner surface of his skull, by all accounts he was a regular fucking dude
