When I was 17 I fell on my head at gymnastics. I must have lost consciousness for a few minutes because when I came to, people we're surrounding me, saying I looked positively green! I sat up and tried to explain what had happened, but all that came out of my mouth was incoherent babble. Imagine the fear that I would be left like that for the rest of my life! But I found the experience quite 8nteresting afterwards. (I also found it interesting how different the pain is when someonehits you with a boxing glove compared to bare knuckles. It was only after the adrenaline from the shock wore out that I started getting a headache. I mean, a really bad one, but it was a weekend and I lived very far from the nearest hospital so I wrapped all of my super-long scarf around my neck and waited until Monday to visit a health clinic. I assumed I had just sprained my neck muscle and without any first aid knowledge I assumed keeping my neck supported and warm was the right thing to do. 🙄🙄 I was only half-wrong. When I was finally seen by the doctor in the emergency clinic, I was suddenly an emergency case. it turned out I had a bad fracture in my atlas bone and the scarf had worked like a brace - it might have well saved my life!

Thank you very much 🙏

Hopefully you check this. I thought there were four regions associated with the four kinds of language input/output (reading, writing, listening, speaking). Is that wrong?

Excellent and very clear description… question…is there a way to test which area is in deficit or not working? 2 nd question if there is a broca deficit , ( not sure if that’s the terminology) are there ways to navigate around it for the patient? Ie through the use of assistive language tool ….. scenario: patient is very intelligent can do crosswords and complex tasks with relative ease, BUT simply can’t articulate with sentences …..

Hi hope you are well. I've been searching about dominant hemisphere in left handed people and almost al sources stated that 65-75 % percent of them are left hemisphere dominant as well hope you revise that detail. and let me know if i am wrong thank you for your effort

[@mill7130]

But the thing is that, nearly 70 percent of the left handed individuals still have their language centers in the left hemisphere, similar to right handers!
