Whether "silent" areas of the brain exist? Not responsible for a certain function and acting as "reserves"? No! Even though not all zones perform the "most important functions", the loss of any zone will affect the functioning of the organism. Most likely, this misconception appeared due to the presence of so-called "silent brain infarctions". This is when there is evidence of brain infarction (stroke = brain infarction) on any imaging modality (MRI or CT scan), but no symptoms. Despite being asymptomatic, the condition remains dangerous☝🏻
