Does anyone have any info (hopefully references to articles in scientific journals) on either of the following two phenomena: 1) microcephaly (or is it hydrocephaly?) - the condition where people have most of the brain missing, and yet show normal IQ etc. 2) mentally-deficient people (or autistic people) who, without any mathematical training, perform various feats (such as produce prime numbers, etc.) (I am not interested in normal individuals who perform these things for entertainment, with tricks, etc.) Mike Levin
