That is very interesting article about the brain. I had a TIA & was rushed to hospital they did an MRI scan & I was told that I had had a Stroke previously (unknown to me as I wasn't aware of the symptoms of a stroke) and that there was brain damage but on the opposite side to the TIA which is how they new I had had a stroke previously. I have a very slight droop to one side of my face practically unnoticeable and no other issues apart from memory, so perhaps my being Hypo helped me in this case...

Thank You! for posting the links xx
