The Last 10%
from We Have Concerns Hosted by Jeff Cannata/Anthony Carboni
A 44-year-old French father of two who found out one day that he had most of his brain missing. Instead his skull is mostly full of liquid, with only 10% of his brain tissue left. He has a life-long condition known as hydrocephalus, commonly called “water on the brain” or “water head”. Jeff and Anthony discuss the surprising malleability of the brain, and wonder what life could be like for this man. GET BONUS EPISODES, VIDEO HANGOUTS AND MORE.
