Such 'highly damaged' brain is still 90 percent or more structured the same as a normal human brain. See it as a brain that runs in debug mode.
replyIt is known that the narrative part of the brain is separate from the decision taking brain. If someone asks you, in a very convincing, persuasive way, why you did something a year ago and you can't clearly remember you did, it can happen that you become positive that you did so anyway. And then the mind just hallucinates a reason. That's a trait of brains.

replyYes brains can hallucinate reasons, doesn't mean they always do. If all reasons given were hallucinations then introspection would be impossible, but clearly introspection do help people.
Because said "highly damaged brain" in most respects still functions pretty much like a healthy one.
replyThere is no misinformation in what I wrote.
