Recently, I have had some thoughts about the brain.
In recent years, possibly as a result of my 2013 stroke, I have become very fearful of driving. In the early years after my stroke this was not an issue. It is as if my brain has to work far, far, harder assessing potential risks. Touch wood, I have never had an accident.
I wonder if normal brains have a filter to allow information to be processed without overload? Perhaps this does not work properly in people with dyslexia or certain brain injuries? Maybe this changes with age?
Certainly, most people are able to block out certain traumatic events. If we worried about everything, life would be incredibly hard.
