Surgery to remove a brain tumor took much of a boy's visual system. But the remaining part of his brain has adjusted, according to @cmupsych researchers. Now the boy wants to be a neurosurgeon. @maggiemfox reports for @NBCNews: nbcnews.com/health/health-ne…
Part of his brain is gone. But this boy still sees a promising future.
