How they work and what they're good for.

In 1998 I experienced a brain trauma that sent me to the emergency room unable to figure out how to put a peanut and butter sandwich together or count backwards from 100 by 9's. Or help my children with their homework, or finish sentences, or understand jokes, and so on. No diagnosis, for various reasons. Twelve years later I am nearly recovered (short term memory still poor). And still fascinated. Perhaps someday I will understand what happened to me. Meanwhile, I am enjoying your comments.

I'll try and tweet it up a bit more though Ha well it’s more that I have a grand total of two neuroscientists following me so my fun but nerdy links fall on deaf ears.
