Boy defies doctors, learns to walk
February 13th 2011 20:16
A three-year-old boy has baffled doctors after he has started learning to walk, despite missing a key part of his brain. Chase Britton was born prematurely and an MRI scan at the age of one revealed he was completely missing his cerebellum - the part which controls motor skills, balance and emotions. The little boy, who is legally blind, also has no pons - part of the brain stem that regulates basic functions including breathing and sleeping.But instead of being unable to carry out tasks like sitting up or crawling, Chase has forced experts to rethink how the brain functions, according to Daily Mail.
