If you disconnect half a brain from the rest of the body, does it stay conscious?

This isn’t hypothetical anymore.

Children with severe epilepsy sometimes undergo a surgery where half their brain is completely severed from the other half and from the outside world. The seizures stop and remarkably, the kids recover.

But scientists wanted to know: what happens to that disconnected half?
All seven core brain networks were still active. The default mode network, the one firing when you daydream or think about yourself, was still running.

Then they measured the electrical activity and found slow waves. The signature of deep, dreamless sleep. Except it can’t be sleep because sleep requires a brain structure this hemisphere is completely cut off from.

So what is it?
Probably not conscious. But not silent either. It seems like every time a brain loses connection to the world, it defaults to this strange, liminal state.

Which opens a much harder question: how do we know if something is conscious? Because we’re already growing brain organoids in labs. We’re building increasingly sophisticated AI. And we won’t be able to just ask them.
The Dancing Plague of 1518 wasn’t the only time people danced to death. Even with modern science and information we haven’t been able to quite pin down the reason why this happened multiple times in the same region 

There are multiple theories beyond the traditional ergot poisoning theory and we dive into every single one in the first episode of Hidden History dropping on Monday May 11th. Make sure you’re following the show on Apple Podcasts and rate, review and follow! It helps so much to get the show seen!
