Stroke of Insight

This post is for all of my readers and patients who have had a family member or friend that has suffered a stroke. It is an amazing video clip on someone explaining how a stroke affects the brain and its right and left hemisheric function. Jill Bolte is the presenter and neuroanatomist who suffered the stroke. It is a neat mix of science and experiental description of stroke and its affects.

Oh Steve, this brought me to tears. What an experience! It makes you wonder if people can be taught how to access the right hemisphere more frequently.

She is also an excellent orator.

Thanks for posting this today!!!
