"It’s almost impossible to imagine a world without words. But in this hour of Radiolab, we try to do just that. We speak to a woman who taught a 27-year-old man the first words of his life, and we hear a firsthand account of what it feels like to have the language center of your brain wiped out by a stroke. Plus: a group of children invent an entirely new language in Nicaragua in the 1970s." Words (Podcast by Radio Lab) 9 Aug 2010
Visual wordplay (video by Will Hoffman and Daniel Mercadante) 9 Aug 2010
"Jill Bolte Taylor got a research opportunity few brain scientists would wish for: She had a massive stroke, and watched as her brain functions -- motion, speech, self-awareness -- shut down one by one." Stroke of Insight TED talk by Jill Bolte
