youngsters use both the right and left hemispheres to do the same task.
The finding suggests a possible reason why children appear to recover

Here is the latest in the abuse on another US Citizen, the out of
control and corrupt deep state law enforcement, FBI and DOJ is at it
again.
What lends credence to the speculations that Edward Snowden could be
granted a presidential pardon is the fact that a US Court of Appeals
held the National Security Agency’s (NSA) program, leaked by Snowden,
illegal last week, thus implicitly acquitting Snowden of any wrongdoing.
Jim W. Dean - I met Soviet sleeper agent Jack Barsky in Atlanta when he
was guest speaker for our Atlanta Chatper of the Assoc. for Former
Intelligence Officers.
By the summer of 1943, tensions between the thousands of white U.S.
servicemen stationed in and around the city and the zoot suit-wearing
young Latinos were running high.
The current situation, when Turkish forces attack the Syrian Army with
impunity under the cover of the ceasefire, cannot last long and could
lead to an escalation if the Erdogan regime does not change its
behavior.
"We need to care for them," said Biden about our returning American
vets, specifically referring to their medical needs stemming from
concussions. Biden also referred to a bill that he had helped pass.
