Many of you may have seen the Ted video by Jill Bolte Taylor, the neuroanatomist and spokesperson for the Harvard Brain Tissue Resource Center who survived a stroke in 1996, at age 37, to describe the shifts in her brain that took place as part of her recovery.
Fascinating stuff. And very useful and inspiring to not only those recovering from neurological disorders, but also psychological ones.
