Are you really suggesting that brain damage can increase intelligence or just suggesting that intelligence can be raised?

It is pretty pointless talking about if intelligence can be raised or not unless we actually define what we mean by intelligence. In the absence of a tight definition all we end up doing is arguing about what each of us thinks intelligence is.



Although rangi42 probably only meant it could be raised, there is evidence for the damage route. http://listverse.com/2013/07/23/10-fascinating-people-with-s...
