Video - A Brain Scientist's Stroke Experience

Neuroanatomist Jill Bolte Taylor had an opportunity few brain scientists would wish for: One morning, she realized she was having a massive stroke. As it happened -- as she felt her brain functions slip away one by one, speech, movement, understanding -- she studied and remembered every moment. This is a powerful story about how our brains define us and connect us to the world and to one another.

Wow, K - How powerful is this, and what a different direction it took than I expected. Finding it was sheer serendipity. Thanks so much for offering it on your blogspace.
