So if we're not acknowledged for things that we do sort of have to push through and hurdles that we have to jump over, that's also a bit insulting.
What happens when the bridge between the two sides of our brain, the corpus callosum, doesn't function as it should? In this episode of 'All In The Mind', host Lynne Malcolm dives into this fascinating topic with Professor Linda Richards, an expert in corpus callosal research. The corpus callosum isn't essential for survival, but its absence or malformation can lead to a range of disabilities, from mild to severe.
This episode sheds light on the lives of individuals living with these conditions and explores the latest research on brain plasticity and how the brain compensates for such deficits. You'll hear real-life stories that illustrate the challenges and triumphs faced by those affected. Plus, learn about the advancements in genetic testing that are paving the way for better diagnosis and management.
Tune in for an eye-opening discussion that advocates for greater awareness and support for people living with corpus callosum disorders.
