Johannathan's case exploded in the group, and only half of the brains of people were alive and well.

This hemispherical brain is a rarity to others, but not to Johannathan.

Although he had never seen such a natural hemispherical brain, he had seen a person who had half of his brain removed due to surgery.

There is a type of surgery called cerebral hemispherectomy, which is suitable for children with intractable epilepsy, by surgically removing all or part of the affected half of the brain, disconnecting the affected cerebral hemisphere from the normal hemisphere, which can cure intractable epilepsy and relieve the patient's pain.

Why do children with intractable epilepsy need to use such a cruel and crude surgical method to solve the problem, because severe intractable epilepsy in children can have seizures hundreds of times a day, that is, once in a few minutes, and suddenly fall to the ground during the seizure, unconscious, convulsions, and foaming at the mouth.

No one can tolerate such a high frequency of attacks, so for such patients, even if they risk their lives for surgery, the family is willing.

Since its invention in the fifties, this surgery has saved a large number of children with intractable epilepsy, and although the classic cerebral hemispherectomy has been abandoned in many hospitals, the modified version of the surgery is still an effective treatment for intractable epilepsy, which not only improves the surgical effect, but also avoids serious complications.

Johanneson has done a lot of research on the survival status of such patients after surgery, he selected 10 patients who are almost indistinguishable from normal people, performed MRI scans on their brains, and found that the remaining half of the brain can be self-adaptively reconstructed, and the functional areas can be transformed into multiple hats, and new and unusually strong connections between different functional areas are formed.

The bizarre self-adaptation allows these people with only half a brain to successfully achieve the basic functions of a complete brain with only half a brain, so as to ensure their normal life ability, including language, vision, movement, emotion and cognition.

These people, Johanneson has communicated with them for a long time, and there is no difference between normal people, if you don't already know that they only have half a brain, but from the point of view of language and behavior, you don't know that they only have half a brain.

Why is the brain so amazing? Like muscles, the brain is an organ that can be remodeled.

It's like a band that takes away half of the players, and the remaining half of the players can still play the original performance in its entirety after training, but one person has to wear two or more hats, such as a trumpet player and a drummer.

So, muscles can become stronger and stronger through exercise; The brain, too, can become more and more functional through exercise, and it has potential that has not yet been discovered by medical science.

Yang Ping imported the CT images in the group into the computer and then studied them on a special electronic screen.

The CT image of the hemispherical brain is presented on the screen, and Yang Ping carefully analyzes the image, which is different from the acquired hemispheric brain.

The acquired hemispherical brain is originally a complete normal brain, but the other half has been removed, so at least in terms of structural anatomy, it is known, and in terms of functional anatomy, it is relatively easy to study clearly.

Theoretically, the structure and functional anatomy of this congenital hemispherical brain are unknown, and it cannot be applied with half of the normal brain, which is the difficulty of surgery.

At this time, Xiao Su had already gotten off work and came to the office to find Yang Ping, and she also came over to look at the pictures.

"Half a brain?" She had never seen such a strange case either.

"Let's let me, I'll sit closer, let the baby also look at this case, only half of the brain." Xiao Su leaned over and squeezed Yang Ping away.

She also said very seriously: "You tell the baby about this case, you must be serious and serious, and you are not allowed to laugh." ”

This really started from the doll, from the doll in the belly, Yang Ping had no choice but to face the screen and start explaining the case decently.

After speaking, Xiao Su nodded with satisfaction.

"Mom said there were a lot of eggs, so let my brother-in-law bring them over for me to eat." Xiao Su said.

Yang Ping's mother was happy when she heard that her daughter-in-law was pregnant, and not only collected the eggs at home, but also actively expanded the types and quantities of breeding.

Yang Ping's father even opened up a large vegetable garden, saying that he was engaged in organic vegetables, and the two planned to continue to provide healthy vegetables, chicken, duck and fish meat for their daughter-in-law during pregnancy.

"You just called your parents?"

Yang Ping felt that Xiao Su called more often than herself, and she always chatted with her mother quite happily every time.

Xiao Su pursed his lips and smiled: "I called them twice in three days, and they made a big vegetable garden, saying that they wanted to provide us with organic vegetables, so it's okay, the old man does what he likes, and he is happy." ”

"I'll give them a call later." Yang Ping felt as if he hadn't called for a long time.

"What wait, there is time now, fight now." Xiao Su was not happy and urged Yang Ping.

Well, now hit.

Yang Ping dialed his mother's phone, and a loud voice came from inside: "Pingping, are you off work?" ”

"Still in the office?"

"What about Xiao Su, you didn't accompany you? You're going to be there for her when you're free, you know? You share more housework, don't let Xiao Su do it, if you dare to be machismo and don't take care of Xiao Su, I'll take care of you when I go back. ”

Yang Ping frowned, and Xiao Su laughed beside him.

Mom is like a machine gun, chattering a lot.

"Your dad said he misses you very much, so let you come back this time for the New Year."

"What do you say, I think, aren't you always chattering, you -——" Yang Ping's father's voice came from the phone.

It's still early for the Chinese New Year, but I want to take Xiao Su back with me.

"I'll ask your brother-in-law to bring you something, he is going to the southern capital provincial capital this time to do business, nothing else, just the vegetables and fruits your father grows, and a little local eggs, he said that these organic vegetables, can't be bought in the city, safe and nutritious."

"Why am I talking about -—— again?"

"Don't interject."

Yang Ping's sister and brother-in-law are both rural primary school teachers, and the brother-in-law is young and promising, and he is also a vice principal.

"Don't bring too much."

"Nothing, just a little greens, peppers, loofahs, eggplants, beans, and a few watermelons-——"

"You'll come over for a few days together, sister, but won't you?"

"We're not here, you're so busy at work."

"I'm busy at home, and there are a lot of patients recently, so I can't leave." Yang Ping's father interjected again.

"When I talk to my son, don't always interject, you can wait and say okay."

"Your brother-in-law is going to run an errand with a school colleague this time, it's business, he has a car, and he just happened to be on the way, so let him bring you something."

This time, Yang Ping's brother-in-law and the principal came to the provincial capital of Nandu together to find successful people from their hometown who were bosses here to raise some funds to improve the teaching conditions of the school.

"Pingping, some of the vegetables and eggs brought by my brother-in-law are in gift boxes, which are for your parents-in-law, you are close to them, you have to go to see them often, accompany them more, what kind of physical work does the old man have at home, you must help to do it, you must be filial, you must be polite, you know? Are you listening? Remember. ”

Yang Ping had no choice but to smile and say: "I'm listening, I'm holding a notebook and remembering, do you still use gift boxes of vegetables and eggs?" ”

"Yes, I asked your brother-in-law to go to the city to find a box specially bought by an acquaintance in the supermarket, and the people in the city are particular, and we must also pay attention to it."

"And -——"

Mom's machine gun jammed for a while.

"Okay, you say a few words, always interject."

Dad finally waited for the opportunity to speak: "I'll just say a few words, you must pay attention to your body outside, the body is the capital of the revolution, and you can't do anything without a good body." Also, now it is an economic society, and the society has become colorful, but we as doctors, we must have a conscience, no matter where we go, we must do our duty as a human being, we can't do things without conscience, it's okay if you have less money, and you can't starve to death. Dad has no culture, he doesn't listen to his words, and he always repeats a few words, don't mind. ”

"Don't you read a lot of books, how can you say that you are uneducated this time."

"My little bit of culture is nothing in front of the doctor."

There was a conversation between Yang Ping's parents on the phone.

After Yang Ping finished making the call, his heart was warm, and Xiao Su next to him was also smiling, laughing out two small dimples.

——

Jieqing's application has already begun, and the last place can only be one of the two.

Whether it is Dean Xia of Sanbo or Vice President Ding Decheng of Nandu Medical University, there is no possibility of backing down at all, so only Yang Ping and Guan Ruyan can compete for this place.

President Rao is the full president of Nandu Medical University, but he will retire in two years.

And the one with the highest call for a successor is President Ding, who has always been a popular candidate for academicians, and at that time he and Su Qingyun were both considered to be the most likely people to become academicians in the Nandu Department.

However, Su Qingyun was successfully elected as an academician, and Ding Decheng was defeated, Ding Decheng has always been worried about this matter, and he has always thought that it was President Rao who tilted his resources towards Su Qingyun, so he was defeated.

Therefore, this time, the son-in-law applied for Jieqing, and he was determined to win, not to mention that the son-in-law's conditions were very good, and he was the leader of the entire Nandu system.

Principal Ding has only one daughter, and this son-in-law is his own student, so when he treats him like a son, he is already one step behind Su Qingyun, how can he let his son-in-law lose to Yang Ping.

Sometimes, life is like a chess game, one step ahead, one step ahead, one step behind, one step behind.

——

Professor Su sat in the study to check the information, and Mrs. Su accompanied him and asked:

"Lao Su, Xiao Yang has now graduated with a doctorate ahead of schedule and published another article "Science", is Jieqing hopeful?"

In fact, it has always been Professor Su's plan to help Yang Ping apply for Outstanding Young Scholars, but the time was not ripe before, but now it is different, Yang Ping's various conditions meet the standards, so Professor Su also wants to start this plan.

Professor Su is a person who has come from the past and knows how to take the academic path, and he feels that with his own guidance, young people can avoid detours.

With the value of Yang Ping's current "Science" paper, it is basically no problem to apply for outstanding young people, and clinicians have published articles on CNS, which is rare.

But unfortunately, this time there is still one place left in the entire system of Nandu Medical University, and two people must compete for this place, and Yang Ping's competitors are very strong.

Guan Ruyan, who returned from studying in Germany, has published two CNS and 32 SCI papers, and has presided over five national scientific research projects, which is very dazzling.

At present, Yang Ping only has one CNS, and although the other papers are also top journals, the number is obviously not much, only a dozen.

Compared with Guan Ruyan, Yang Ping's academic achievements are superior in quality, but he loses too much to Guan Ruyan in quantity, so the competition between the two is inseparable.

Seeing that Professor Su didn't speak, Mrs. Su continued: "Old Su, how do I feel a bit like Xiao Yang's bride price in this "Science"? In that case, we'll have to come up with some decent dowry. ”

The implication is that you must help your son-in-law apply for Jieqing.

Mrs. Su is afraid that Professor Su will be too "virgin" at that time, and will not interfere in this matter, which will be very troublesome, once Yang Ping does not have strong support behind him, and others have support, Yang Ping will suffer, how can the mother-in-law let her son-in-law suffer.

Professor Su nodded slightly, and said humorously: "The bride price is so weighty, our dowry can't be shabby." ”

This "dowry", Professor Su obviously refers to helping to apply for outstanding young people.

"I heard that Guan Ruyan of Nandu Medical University also applied for Outstanding Youth this time, President Ding will definitely not sit idly by, right?" Mrs. Su is the director of the nursing department of the attached one, so she naturally knows some things about the Nandu department.

Guan Ruyan, as a young talent of Nandu Medical University, is also very famous in the entire Nandu Department, and the news of his application for Outstanding Youth will definitely spread, so there is no need for Professor Su to say, Mrs. Su will know the general idea.

"Yes, the difficulty is here, compared with the two young people, Yang Ping is superior in academic quality, while Guan Ruyan obviously has a huge advantage in quantity, if according to the declaration standards, the two are indistinguishable."

Professor Su analyzed the comparison of the strengths of the two.

Mrs. Su saw the materials on the desktop, including Yang Ping's "Science" paper: "This is given to you by the girl, right?" ”

"Yes, she personally handed over the information to me, this paper, Yang Ping gave me a draft before it was published, asking for my revisions, and now it has been published, she also sent me a copy, this is to tell me not to forget the big event of Jieqing, this little guy, can I remember, but also remind." Professor Su loves his daughter very much.

"Our daughter doesn't look at the usual quiet and quiet, she is very shrewd at critical times, and now I also remind you that you can't be sloppy in this matter, you have to do your best." Mrs. Su said.

People are always selfish, Professor Su thought to himself, Yang Ping, this kid, is so talented and works so hard, as an elder, it is normal for people to use their own resources to help him.

Now this place, to compete, or not to compete?

Definitely go to the competition!

Yang Ping is eligible, why not compete? Why should you give it to someone else, it doesn't make sense.

"Let me think about it."

Professor Su thought in his heart.

PS: The previous chapter -—— hemisphere brain, and some changes were made today, because the wrong manuscript may have been sent last night, and it was not the final manuscript that was sent, so you can go back and take a look at it again when you have time, sorry! Thank you!
