When U.S. congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords was shot last January in a parking lot in Tuscon, the bullet entered just over her left eye, travelled the length of the left hemisphere of her brain, and exited. This week during Giffords's first public speaking appearance, her husband, former space shuttle commander Mark Kelly explained how the trajectory of the bullet saved her life. "It's clear that any lower, it would've killed her, any further midline, it would've killed her.
If it crossed hemispheres, it would've killed her. Any further outboard, she'd never be able to speak again. Any higher, she'd never be able to walk. " Gabrielle Giffords's wound was catastrophic, but not fatal. And though it robbed her for a time of her ability to speak, music — or more specifically something called melodic intonation therapy — was able to return her voice.
