Wikipedia states that "Savant syndrome results from damage to the left anterior temporal lobe, an area of the brain key in processing sensory input, recognizing objects and forming visual memories.", but if the area of the brain which processes sensory input get damaged how does the syndrome work? Such as musical savants are music geniuses, playing multiple instruments beautifully, so doesn't their sensory input need to be even more enhanced? How does damage to this lobe of the brain result in such a drastic change?
