3-year-old Chase Britton is truly a medical marvel. He was born without a cerebellum, the part of the brain that regulates balance, motor skills, and emotions. He also lacks a pons, the brain structure that controls breathing and sleeping.

Remarkably, he is able to do such things as walk, ride a bike, use scissors, and write with a pencil! This astounding young man is causing neurologists to reconsider long-held opinions on how the human brain works.

The Social Network did end up winning three Oscars - for adapted screenplay, editing, and best score. (Read more about The Social Network's awards.
