A Miracle in Neuroscience: Cole Cohen's Intriguing Brain Story

Cole Cohen faced challenges from a young age. Early in her childhood, no one could quite understand what was going on in her head. She struggled with solving basic math problems, and her vision would frequently blur without any apparent reason. Numerous specialists tried to help her, but none could decipher what was happening within her mind—until Cohen met a leading expert in chronic headaches.

The various medications Cohen took throughout her life not only failed to alleviate her symptoms, but they also led to suicidal tendencies. She often felt disconnected from how others perceived the world. "No one could back me up. So, am I losing my mind? What is wrong with me?" she pondered.

Under the guidance of her physician, Dr. Walt, she was advised to discontinue her medications that were creating unnecessary complications. Simultaneously, he referred her to Dr. Zee, a specialist in neurological chiropractic care. After undergoing a series of tests, the doctors discovered a massive lemon-sized hole in her brain, finally explaining the peculiar symptoms she suffered from.

The doctors were astounded by the revelation and found it hard to believe that someone could continue living in such a state. "While my story is unusual, many people endure severe past experiences, so I don't see myself as special," Cohen reflected on her condition. She added, "Now I participate in individual and group therapies, work as a coordinator at the University of California, and live a totally normal and independent life. I'm relieved that no deterioration is expected at present."
