3 memory precision as computer

In fact, Hoffman play "rain man" and the role of the prototype was modified to "rain man" is an autistic, little to do with others.

But the Golden Horse gram in fact do not have autism. Evelyn says Golden Horse gram "very concerned about others, and to share his unique ability to feel happy."

4 scientific explanation is difficult to fully

The Golden Horse gram of the brain, scientists study has not been stopped.

In June 2006, the scientific journal published in the United States "the entry" scholars "brain", specifically gold horse gram of brain function. Here's the "scholars" refers to the "scholar syndrome" (Savantsyndrome). The term first by the United Kingdom doctors Beydoun (J.LangdonDown). He cited the case of a patient can recite Yoshimoto's "Roman Empire", disease is also called "Beydoun syndrome". Suffering from a "scholar syndrome," people tend to have some outstanding, but the lack of basic social and self-management skills. "Scholars syndrome" are often and commonly known as the "rain man" alone on a par with autism. In fact, only half of the "scholar syndrome" is autistic patients, while the gold horse Gram is not autistic. The entry "scholars" brain "that all known scholar syndrome have a super memory, while the gold horse gram more super memory, it can create wealth.

Article on Golden Horse gram no facts "Corpus Callosum" were discussed.

The article says that there is no Corpus Callosum, but there is no exception. Some adults because brain damage after removal of the Corpus Callosum, had left and right brain cannot coordinate phenomena, such as the right to do one thing, the left hand does not help, or even "right hand fighting." Golden Horse gram while there is no Corpus Callosum, but he left and right brain build some links to two hemispheres like a super dome-like work, so he can in some ways, but in other respects very "show-Swiss". He can be written to the left of the left eye, right at the right side of the page, so he is 8-10 seconds, you can read the two-page book, 25 minutes to read Tom · Clancy's pursuit Red October ". This can be attributed to him there is no Corpus Callosum. But it's not yet confirmed, so some brain expert joke, there is only one known Corpus Callosum: that is, when a connection string to allow two brain not falling apart.

The article said that the Golden Horse gram brain must have been some exceptions, but still can not say that these exceptions stimulated the brain to other parts of the extraordinary development, or these exceptions to let his ability to prominence? also, Golden Horse gram began only rote, but later he learned to think, there's evidence that he had a creative thinking, it helped him access to the wider world.

Therefore the author's view, should not diminish the scholar syndrome patients, care should be taken to foster intellectual and social exchanges.
