Meet James Brown. In his first year of law school he began experiencing noticeable neurological symptoms. An MRI scan revealed a massive brain tumor. Though doctors anticipated a smooth recovery after surgery, James faced serious complications that left him in a coma for two months and dealing with lasting disabilities. But instead of giving up, he chose to fight back. He returned to Colorado, became a father, and boldly started a new career in web programming. Along the way he earned a master’s degree in philosophy from the University of Illinois.
Now living in Texas, James dedicates his time to leading multiple support groups, helping others navigate life after brain injury. He shares practical tips for managing day-to-day life, the value of having a structured routine, and the vital role support groups play in recovery. He also reflects on the emotional and philosophical aspects of living with a brain injury, offering wisdom, hope, and encouragement to anyone facing their own "new normal."

Imagine regaining movement after years of immobility. Julie Graham, OT and therapy development specialist at MicroTransponder, discusses her extensive 20-year career in occupational therapy and her work with Vivistim, a device designed for chronic ischemic stroke survivors. Vivistim pairs vagus nerve stimulation with physical and occupational therapy to enhance neuroplasticity and regain motor functions in the affected upper extremity. Julie explains the role of the vagus nerve in rewiring the brain's connections and how Vivistim is different from e-stim (external electrical stimulation). While the FDA has only approved Vivistim for chronic ischemic survivors, there are multiple studies for all types of brain injury, so Julie hopes access will be expanded soon. She also shares real-life success stories of stroke survivors who have regained significant abilities.
