Predictor of success of this extreme procedure is the age of the patient. Hemispherectomy is almost exclusively performed in children because their brains generally display more neuroplasticity (ability of the brain to change) . Hemispherectomy is a successful procedure and brings the recovery of function in a child. Adult patients do not have to expect more problems with new deficits, appear to cope quite well, and mostly profit from this surgery.

Why do scientists consider many factors when assigning an organism to a species?
marusya05 [52]
The reason why is a few things, first, they have to make sure that the organism is related, and that they can see that. They don't wanna assign a bird as an insect on accident, so they do tests and then determine. Second, the more factors the better, if you consider all the species in the world, and what makes them different from eachother you would have a very long list. And that is it.
I hope this helps. If you need clarity or anything just ask.
