Lobotomy is a brain operation that cuts or alters the white matter of a brain lobe. It is now banned in many countries and is no longer considered a good practice in today's medicine.
The lobotomy was performed in psychosurgery with the aim of interrupting certain neural circuits to treat mental illnesses, schizophrenia, epilepsy and even chronic headaches before declining in the 1950s with the advent of the first neuroleptics.
The United States has a smaller population than China, but has a higher per capita greenhouse gas emission, resulting in a larger carbon footprint on a national level.
