Re: Using Brain Damage to Teach Brain Part Function

[Drnanjo]

Hello -

I use Joe (with Michael Gazzaniga) who is a split-brain patient (scientific
american video), a girl in a Discovery Channel video (understanding the
amazing brain) who had an entire hemisphere out at age 3 and is developing
close to normally - illustrating plasticity -.  In other Discovery Channel
video I have another patient with no STM or encoding power (Jeremy) with long
term memories intact from the time of the stroke, and a person with motion
blindness (these latter two are in the series - brain, the universe within.)
