one in four women — and a much smaller proportion of men — experiences intimate partner violence in their lifetime. For people in violent relationships, brain injuries are unfortunately common.

Host
Regina G. Barber talks with NPR brain correspondent
Jon Hamilton about new research on the connection between domestic violence and traumatic brain injuries – and what makes these injuries unique.
