...able to climb and had difficulty walking because a bone in her forearm - the ulna - had stopped growing. It is thought that her condition, known as angular limb deformity, is a congenital problem, but could also have been caused or aggravated by being chained at the wrist by traders. This forced the arms...Scientists Spot Brain Center for 'Out-of-Body' Experience
... scans revealed that throughout each out-of-body episode, brain activity spiked in two areas surrounding the electrode implant: a small area where the angular gyrus meets the supramarginal gyrus, and in the rear section of the superior temporal cortex. The former area is known for being associated with in...Brain Swelling Halts Conjoined Twin Surgery
