Yes! I got interested in this when my colleague worked with a person who had an entire hemisphere resected as a teenage.

FWIW, the nail thing is a bit of a neuroscience meme. I heard--and stole--this quip from multiple people in several different situations. There's also a really striking figure in that chapter (p. 7 or 8).

No argument that the rats' behaviors are affected. I suppose whether you find the slowness of their grooming expected (because of brain damage) or impressive (because it happens at all) is a matter of taste. Glass^W Skull half-empty or half-full, if you will.

They are not slow, they just stop grooming themselves well enough.
