Like Rain Man, she was born without a Corpus Callosum. It's the head's superhighway -- a thick band of nerve fibres connecting the two hemispheres of the brain. Join Natasha Mitchell as she experiences a day in the life of the Ingerson family, with rare insights into one of the most complicated neurological birth defects."

It's perfect for my introductory psychology class." As much as I liked the animation, I'd recommend against using it in an intro course, Mark. Had they not named the protagonist "Christian" you could get away with it. But as it stands, it's just too inflammatory. So I'm urging that you err on the side of discretion here. I realize that most of you don't know me all that well but trust me when I say that if Ed Pollak is suggesting discretion, it must be over-the-top! I am, after all, the loose cannon about whom a dean once quipped, "I don't think he's ever had an unpublished thought!" Ed Edward I.
