We know that brain lesions and diseases can cause all kinds of varied symptoms and deficits.
But are there any neurological syndromes that "should" exist, but aren't actually observed?
In the era of AI, I think the brain needs a rebrand.
"Brain" is just not as cool and cute of a name like "Gemini" or "Claude"
We could call the brain "Eve" because she is the original mother of all other models.
What is your favorite often-forgotten fact about the brain?
Mine is that the human cortex has ~15 billion neurons but our cerebellum has about 70 billion!
This is a well known fact but always surprises me when I remember it.
Thinking about neurological syndromes that "could" exist but don't, is there any disorder that causes loss of well-learned motor skills?
Motor skills seem very robust, they survive memory loss like hippocampal damage or dementia.
Is there any disorder where you specifically lose skills?
