Although thinking they know the human body, some discoveries still amaze researchers.

There are individuals living a normal life even though they lack important parts of the body shows the incredible ability to adapt of the human body. Here are five people who are incredible from a medical standpoint.

1. The woman who is lacking the cerebellum

If you’ve ever wondered what influence the brain size and shape have on your life, you should find out that these two things do not matter almost at all when it comes to a proper function of the body.

Chinese researchers have identified a woman who had no cerebellum. This didn’t stop her to have a normal life. It appears that parts of our brain are able to take over many functions, so if one of these parts is less developed or missing it does not mean that we are less intelligent than others.

2. The man who has only 10% of his brain

A man from France lives a normal life, despite missing 90% of the brain. The new findings have caused scientists to rethink what is, from a biological perspective, the consciousness. The case was first presented in The Lancet journal in 2007. The case baffled scientists for almost ten years.

3. The man who lived without his heart for more than a year

A 25-year-old recently received a heart transplant, but until then he lived more than a year without a heart inside his body. To benefit from a human heart, Stan Larkin wore an “artificial heart” in a backpack, 24 / 7 days a week for 555 days. This little engine pumped blood through the body and kept him alive. The success of the procedure suggests that the device could be used to support other patients with heart failure who are awaiting a donor.

4. Woman with a super vision
   

   Neuroscientists in the UK have announced recently that they found a woman with a new type of cone cells in the eye. The studies lasted for 25 years. According to some estimates, she may see 99 million more colors than the rest of the people, researchers believe that it is one of many people with super-vision. Most people only have three types of cone cells in the eye.

   
   

   5. The young man who has a continuous déjà vu feeling

Trapped in a time loop where all events are repeated endlessly is the way a young man from the UK who suffer from a very strange condition feels. He has almost all the time the feeling of déjà vu, the feeling that he already lived those moments.

Typically, a normal episode of déjà vu is short (a few seconds) and vague, and over 70% of people go through this at least once in a lifetime.
