how is math used in brain surgery ?????

math teaches you to think properly and with out it you will not be able to be a brain surgent

Xray and CT is the same idea of operation .. but ct is to image the sector of something but the two is image by xray \n\nthe MRI is used for the best images .. for the soft tissue and organs and to display the abnormalities of the organs .. \n\nand brain tumor is exist in the soft tissue so u have to make MRI scan for make it easy to doctor to have a good decision about Ur tumor\n\nand best luck and i wish u quick recovery\n\ni'm biomedical engineer

The sheer level of intricacy this would take would be astounding.\n\nI'd say that due to neural path differences, the mere act of thinking could cause plenty of trouble to the other part of the brain.  If the surgery were advanced enough to adjust neural pathways to compatibility, not only would this "brain" be altered beyond the original two into an unrecognizable abomination, it would only recognize itself as one entity.\n\nSo theoretically, if this were done in a survivable manner, yes, because it would be one.

No, it is not true. All of your brain gets used, at different times, for different functions. \n\nHow can it be measured? PET scans and fMRI.

The current use of electromagnetic radiation to treat brain tumors are gamma rays not x-rays.  gamma rays are smaller and even more energetic.  Doctors are using these rays like a knife without ever opening the skull.  They use very small amounts of gamma rays that converge on one place in the skull in order to kill the cells in just that location.  It is amazing that it is an outpatient procedure but the risk of not "getting it all" increases.

you LIKE math????\n\nit takes a special kind of person i guess....lol

I'm not sure of the function of the Left Sylvian Fissure but there is a way to remove tumors a, cancerous and non cancerous from the brain that are inoperable if the funcion of the brain isn't to compromised. I underwent a procedure called Gamma Knife Surgery. It uses radiosugery with radiation to destroy brain matter. There are only 100 gamma knifes in the U.S. I think so it's a specialized tool.

I'm a neurosurgeon. I don't think anyone will be able to give a satisfactory answer to that question, in large part because we don't have any meaningful units of measurement. \n\nWe can't use "bytes" like in a computer. We can't determine how many "facts" someone knows. We might be able to work out reaction speeds etc. but we can't really pin down how many other things you are thinking of at the time and how that might influence it; we can't sort out how many people you know or what your total vocabulary is really; or how many slightly different scents you can recognize.\n\nMost of the time, we are unaware of the thousands of pieces of information we are constantly processing unconsciously, like air temperature, sounds around us, colour of text on screen, clock ticking, feel of socks on our feet, hair on our neck. We may notice out of the corner of our eye that our co-worker has gotten up; her unhurried walk and the smell of cappucino indicate that it's coffee break rather than an emergency evacuation, and our brain doesn't even consciously notify us of making the decision to stay at our desk.\n\nThe brain can process massive amounts of information very quickly - you are actually doing complicated calculus every time you catch a flying ball! - but we don't have a good way to quantify it.

You should ask the doctor or surgeon treating the patient.  I wouldn't even guess unless you told me what part of the brain was damaged.

I don't understand.  \n\nIt's a wives tale that people only use 10% of our brain.  In reality we DO use all areas of our brain, the only thing is that not all areas function at once....\n\nIf you want to be well rounded, just go learn about all the things you are unfamiliar with. Stop doing the same thing over and over again, go out and try new things every day. \n\nSo...yeah...I still don't know what the real question was...\nHope that helps!

You must have read something old.  Modern science, with eeg's, CT scans, MRI's, show that all parts of the brain are used.  Not all parts are active at the highest level, all of the time.  Humans use all of their brain capacity,

I think a calculator would be great for this one! It sounds perfect for a math wiz to try...Good luck! MayMay

Do you know how to represent precisely the state of a brain at any given time? If so, then yes.  I think you'll find this is a hard problem to solve, though.

With a calculator. If you're trying to do it in your head, then it depends on how your head works. For me I multiply parts of the numbers and add them. If I'm trying to do something like 15X22 I'll multiply 10X22 and add it to 5X22. For me it's easier to break it down into easier equations.

math. i know, its kinda nerdy.

I was in your shoes once. My brain just doesn't work math the way I was taught it. Are you using the same teacher/tutor or do your teacher and tutor use the same style of teaching? Perhaps trying a new tutor, or getting someone else to work with you will help. I have noticed that not everyone's mind works in the same way. I struggled with math/algebra for years only to later in life have someone else explain it to me and it clicked right away. If someone can present it to you in a way your brain understands, perhaps it will make sense and you will start to do better.\n\nGood luck.
