A Stroke of Insight
I'd recenty heard an intriguing interview where Jill Bolte Taylor who is a neuroanatomist, talked of her remarkable experiences of having a stroke in the left hemisphere of her brain. She describes some of these experiences in the lecture shown below. It made me wonder about the things we think we know about the brain and the human mind, and more importantly, the things we're still missing by thinking we know! :)

Maybe the so called 'geniuses' that we refer to are just people who have an 'imbalanced' brain... eg. like having 2 left or right brain or over dominance of a particular side. *shrug*
