From someone with neurological impairments I personally want to thank you for your work dedicated to CNS/neurological disabilities. I found your comment about being "trapped" in your chair but your mind being free to continue your work, very interesting. Interesting from the standpoint that you feel trapped physically in your chair, but feeling free mentally to do your work. For those with mental/emotional illness, we can feel free physically but trapped emotionally and mentally. It makes me wonder how many different ways there are of feeling trapped. Perhaps "feeling trapped" is a condition of being impaired/disabled. That being the case, there may be many more "disabling conditions" worth considering that might limit one's quality of life, such as being too materialistic, having prejudice, passing judgment, and harboring resentment. I'm sure that at some level, these too have a neurological connection. But I'll leave that up to you CNS scientists to think about!
