Brain injury: How it can affect everyday life — and how to prevent it.

Written by Health columnist Jennifer Hutchings. Philosopher René Descartes is well known for his phrase, “I think, therefore I am.” He introduced the fundamental explanation for how we currently understand the function of the brain. In other words, our brain connects us to the world we live in. It does this by receiving sensory data involving memory centers, emotion and language as we continuously interpret and respond to smells, sounds, tastes, feelings and what we see around us in our environment.

I’m not a Gimp, a Cripple nor...
