Is it possible for a surgeon to remove part of the brain that controls reasoning and manners?

Pre-frontal lobotomy.\n\nLook up the scintillating story of Phineas Gage. Railroad spike through the head. Very sad.\n\nLobotomies haven't been performed in the U.S. since the 1970s, but they are still (very rarely) done in some countries, including Japan, Australia, Sweden and India.

You should probably have your brain examined by a doctor.

Well, maybe you could use that 90.3% to figure out how you deleted 0.4% of your brain.\n\nAlso, we use all of our brain, all the time. What you are talking about is a myth. What's the point of having it if it's not used? Only the appendix isn't necessary to human living.\n\nI guess a lot of people would say that many men's penises are useless. Maybe it's true. So I guess they would two parts to their bodies that aren't needed.

The human brain controls heartbeat, respiration, digestion and other autonomic functions. It is the seat of thought, reasoning, and abstraction. The brain is what makes the cognitive mind possible such as perception, interpretation, imagination, and memories.\n\nWhile all that is good and fine if this is a homework question for elementary school or middle school just put down that it controls thoughts and emotions or something less complicated.

It absolutely could be.  But it also depends on what type of meningitis the person has.\n\nSurgery breaks the natural barriers of infection (like skin), especially brain surgery which also breaks the "blood-brain" barrier.\n\nInflammation is also a common risk associated with surgery and could occur in the absence of infection.

Leave aside frontal and parietal; they can deactivate entire brain.

The only problem with this form of punishment is it does nothing to remove the mental drive of the perpetrator. He will still have the same thoughts. Maybe a combination, frontal lobotomy and castration, will do the trick, but I can't see any State passing this into law. I'm more in favor of the two strikes and your shot approach. Besides, bullets are so much cheaper than surgery.

Anything near or having to do with the brain is serious and being that i'm not a doctor, I don't want to scare you or tell you about something, I know nothing about. I suggest you ask your doctor, or have your doctor refer you to someone, that specializes, in that type of profession.

No, it is anatomically impossible. Even the myth of mother's and teachers having eyes in the back of their head.

in his brain, causing a partial frontal lobotomy, hence the retardedness

No.  Brain surgery could remove growths in the brain.  But bipolar is basically a deficiency in lithium - it is treated with lithium.  Schizophrenics have brain chemical imbalances - too much dopamine, too little serotonin.  These are governed to a great deal by food and alcohol intake.  None of these could be resolved by an operation.

No but it should shave a bit off your brain...{:-)

No,\nWhile it is rumored with I "knew someone who" the ability to remove an organ or tissue, keep it properly infused with blood and oxygen until it can be implanted in someone else is extremely difficult. also, the levels of approvals, security at hospitals, surgery centers make bringing in these implants almost impossible without a number of people being made aware of it. The marjority of tissue is not compatable from one person to another. There would be rejection immediately and therefore no reason to try it.\n\nThere is more "medicine" to it than most people think.

Probably not.  They can operate on the brain with the pt. fully awake and very comfortable..  The only nerves numbed are in the scalp that they have to cut.
