I'm betting for the latter, anyone knows?
- resueman 5y agoThe big dark areas are just fluid. He had some kind of shunt to drain fluid from his brain as a child because of too much pressure.

And the reservoirs of fliud known as ventricles basically grew extremely large from the increasing pressure and squashed his brain.
