Brain Dieases

This week in class we went over brain diseases, some I never knew existed or could exist. I was dumfounded by some like savant syndrome. I would have to say honestly that it was the most intriguing topics I have ever learned about in my education so far! But anyways when we learned about savants and how their right brain takes over for the lack of a better words, for the impaired, disabled, or destroyed left brain. It immediately had me thinking through the amazement for myself, what if the brain impairment took place in the right brain rather in the left? At this point when I was thinking about and relating it back to what we had learned about the left brain and how it was the more logical mathematical half of the brain. What if "savant left syndrome" could be the solution to finding ways through mathematics to reach planets we've never been to, cure some of the most extreme illnesses, and redefine cities, or possibly solve crime all in ways that no one person have even thought of being able to do. This thought that I had in class was somewhat triggered from the class presentation and the combination of the show Numb3ers, where a mathematical genius solves crime for the FBI. Which something I could believe someone that a left brained savant souls have the ability to do, in my thinking. Maybe I just get to hyped up in the show..but it got me thinking
