    What Happens When An Infant Loses Half Their Brain?

    What Happens When An Infant Loses Half Their Brain?
    Mora Leeb was 9 months old when surgeons removed half her brain. Now 15, she plays soccer and tells jokes. Scientists say Mora is an extreme example of a process known as brain plasticity, which allows a brain to modify its connections to adapt to new circumstances.

    How Art Can Heal The Brain

    How Art Can Heal The Brain
    Arts therapies appear to ease a host of brain disorders from Parkinson's to PTSD. But these treatments that rely on music, poetry or visual arts haven't been backed by rigorous scientific testing. Now, artists and brain scientists have launched a program to change that. NPR's brain correspondent Jon Hamilton tells us about an initiative called the NeuroArts Blueprint.

    How COVID-19 Affects The Brain

    How COVID-19 Affects The Brain
    Many patients who are hospitalized for COVID-19 continue to have symptoms of brain injury after they are discharged. For many, brain function improves as they recover, but some are likely to face long-term disability. As NPR science correspondent Jon Hamilton explains, research into all the ways the coronavirus affects the brain is ongoing but research shows it can affect everything from loss of smell to memory problems.

    266: Hell, Heaven, and Back

    266: Hell, Heaven, and Back
    In Episode 266: Hell, Heaven, and Back, we speak with Jason and Amy, a married couple who went through a traumatic experience that most people can't even imagine. Jason has congenital adrenal hyperplasia, and almost died from the condition several times as a child. On December 9, 2016, he and Amy had some take-out food that triggered his medical issues - and this time, Jason did end up dying. He was dead for over 30 minutes before miraculously coming back to life! In those 30 minutes, Jason went to hell and heaven, and now he's back to tell us everything he saw on the other side of this life!
