Review: My Stroke of Insight: A Brain Scientist's Personal Journey
My Stroke of Insight: A Brain Scientist's Personal Journey by Jill Bolte Taylor
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
This is a short and enlightening look at stroke by a survivor that was also a perceptive, articulate, Harvard-train brain scientist. (She shills for donating yours to the Harvard BrianBank.)
I have read quite a bit that the left-right brain dichotomy is overstated in popular conception, but she emphasizes this element of brain architecture.
This is a good book for those interested in basic neuro-science and especially key for those wanting to understand or wanting to help loved ones suffering amd recovering from brain traume of almost any kind.
