    I'm gonna go ahead and say it's all there but that something is just covering it up in the MRI. Brain matter doesn't usually just dissolve after it has grown. Something is awry

    All the cerebellums functionality must have been reassigned to some other part of the brain.

    Wtf... that thing grew inside a baby's head!? Looks like someone messed up and left a breast implant in someone's head!

    Well... atleast the scientist found out that our human brains are insanely flexible ... even without the cerebellum, one can still move ...
    maybe we are so highly adaptable that one can readjust their core organs functionalities? maybe our brain aren't just able to rewire themselves for every information stored... simply marvelous

    i think maybe you didn't read the whole thing. he was giving what he thought to be a more plausible explanation, however, Chase's mom wrote in the comments and basically shot his theory down.
    this case is still up in the air i suppose.
