Your neighbor's infant daughter has epilepsy. They are considering surgery to help with the seizures, but they are worried that permanent brain damage will result. What should you tell them?
◦ At that age, the brain is "plastic," so that a different part of the brain can likely take over the functioning of the damaged area.
◦ They should carefully consider this option in that any damage will be permanent.
◦ It will be difficult to tell if there will be brain damage because infants do not really do much.
◦ They should proceed with caution in that, if there is any brain damage on the left hemisphere, their daughter might never learn to speak.
