Eli5: What happens to the brain after a brain tumor is removed?

In: Biology

Answer 1

Obligatory IMNAS.
It depends at what age the tumor get removed. In child’s neuroplasticity allow the brain to rewire itself to mimic part of the functionality that got lost along the tumor.
The more you get older, the less this ability is effective, so down to earth, you could permanently lose some function that is related to the lobe the tumor was attached to.
