Gifted Hands: The Ben Carson Story A young boy who grows up to
become a brain surgeon realizes he owes his success to his single mother, who had a vision of what he could do if he acquired a good education.
Using data from
brain imaging techniques that enable visualising the
brain's activity, a neuroscientist at the University of Geneva (UNIGE) and a Parisian ENT
surgeon have managed to decipher
brain reorganisation processes at work when people start to lose their hearing, and thus predict the success or failure of a cochlear implant among people who have
become profoundly deaf in their adult life.
