A view of a structural magnetic resonance image (MRI, axial orientation) showing slices from the top to the bottom of the brain of an adult who had one complete hemisphere resected in childhood due to epilepsy. Global interhemispheric connectivity remains intact, yet with increased connectivity between networks, supporting cognition despite atypical brain anatomy.
