The popular press is putting out summaries of a BMJ case report which may be of interest to Tipsters. The BMJ article can be accessed at the following link and notice the rank materialism (i.e., brain=mind) in the title: http://casereports.bmj.com/content/2018/bcr-2017-222892.full?sid=dc43cb31-06f4-440b-8895-5087d9fe74ca
For one popular account of the case, see the following article in the NY Daily News: http://www.nydailynews.com/life-style/pocket-air-found-man-brain-article-1.3872510 For folks who look down their nose at tabloids, here is the Washington Post version: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/to-your-health/wp/2018/03/12/doctors-find-air-pocket-where-part-of-mans-brain-should-be/?utm_term=.896eed42a1bf So, c'mon, do we really need a frontal cortex? Which reminds me of another article; see: Parkin, A. J. (1998). The central executive does not exist. *Journal of the International Neuropsychological Society*, *4*(5), 518-522.
