Me, my brain and I
Description
Bob thinks but doesn't feel. Christina feels but has trouble thinking. Virginia can neither think nor feel as she is pulled down into a spiral of darkness that zaps her very will to survive. Kent lives within a twenty-minute time span, unable to remember his past or plan for his future. Each of these people has had an injury to a part of the brain called the frontal lobes. Their stories, told in Me, My Brain And I, are helping neuroscientists unravel the mystery of what makes us distinctly human.
