Every day there are 5,000 new brain injuries in the United States. What does it feel like to go through the struggle of brain injury? Clark Elliott kept detailed notes about his recovery from concussion. What appeared externally to emergency medical professionals and loved ones to be a minor car accident, resulting in minor head injuries, turned out to be far more and deprived Elliot of basic functions.
His road to recovery and the startling science that helped him reclaim his life are all in his new book "The Ghost in My Brain: How A Concussion Stole My Life And How The New Science Of Brain Plasticity Helped Me Get It Back."
