I’d be interested in knowing more about the histological structure of Dr. Lorber’s student's brain and others that exhibit the same physical abnormalities yet retain normal functionality. Hydrocephalus affects the white matter of the brain a lot more than it does the gray matter. If the basic structure of the nerve cells that make up our neural net remain relatively intact despite what for all outward appearances to be a severe deformation it could explain the normal functionality.

I’d also like to know a lot more detail about what Lorber considers normal functionality. The student’s ability to obtain a mathematics degree doesn’t really speak to other possible cognitive problems.
