Lobotomy

The human brain has a complex structure, and the prefrontal lobe is a part of it. If the frontal lobe of the brain is diseased, epilepsy will occur, and the body's behavior cannot be controlled, often resulting in unexpected actions. Therefore, a frontal lobe resection surgery is required. This type of surgery is relatively risky and has a relatively low success rate. It requires very good maintenance in daily life. Here I will introduce to you the specific details of the frontal lobe resection surgery.

1. Lobotomy is called frontal lobe removal surgery in English. Each hemisphere of the brain is divided into four lobes, and the frontal lobe is the largest one, accounting for about 1/3 of the volume. After it is removed, a person will lose many functions, including a large part of his personality. He is almost like a walking corpse. The only thing he has in common with a normal person is that he can still breathe.

2. In the 1980s, the rise of the drug chlorpromazine hydrochloride almost led to the disappearance of frontal lobe resection. However, the principle of this drug is exactly the same as that of frontal lobe resection, but the method is more gentle. At the same time, with the development of science and technology, the controllability of surgical techniques has become more and more sophisticated.

3. Another lobotomy is emerging, which is the corpus callosotomy that is commonly used to treat epilepsy. The corpus callosum is the connection between the left and right brains. After removal, it does affect the information transmission of the two perspectives. However, for people with normal vision, the information of the left and right eye perspectives is almost the same to a large extent, so the impact on the patient's life can be infinitely reduced. Moreover, unlike Freeman's "transorbital" surgery, the precision of this surgery means that only the key parts are removed. The patient is fully capable of returning to normal life, and epilepsy is cured by the removal of the corpus callosum, and the patient survives successfully.

4. Lobotomy has been performed for two centuries since the 18th century. Its limitations have been made up by various high-end surgeries. However, these surgeries are to solve the problem by directly removing certain parts of the brain. The effects are irreversible. Therefore, the usefulness of lobotomy series of surgeries has been infinitely reduced in modern times.
