   "There was both freedom and challenge for me in recognizing that our perception of the external world, and our relationship to it, is a product of our neurological circuitry."  Jill Bolte Taylor, Ph.D.
   
   

   A friend lent me a book, My Stroke of Insight, by above author which is about a woman who had a stroke, but it also lends some insight into what might be happening to the brain as the disease of dementia ravages it.  Even for those of us with "normal" functioning (whatever that is) can benefit from knowing that our perception of the world may not be the same as the person next to us.  We are each different.  Our neurological circuitry is different, as is our DNA and our personal history.  It might benefit us to consider that the world looks different to each of us.
