Apparently this is "Brain Awareness Week". For those who've had brain injuries, strokes, and other neurophysiological foo go on in their lives, or those who know someone who has, hopefully you'll take a little time and learn more about brain injury, and its after effects, side effects, and often nasty social consequences. Here's some links to get you going...

Brain Injury Association of America's Web Site
Brain Injury Resource Center
Traumatic Brain Injury Resource Guide
Brain Injury Society
a paper on Mild Traumatic Brain Injury
a Google search on 'mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI) postconcussive syndrome (PCS)'
stroke info (consumer data)
Intensive Training May Boost Recovery From Stroke and Other Brain Injuries

BTW, I am a survivor of a childhood MTBI and an adult stroke/BI.
