Brain Quest Serie

Perché alcune persone ci attraggono sessualmente? Perché ci affascina una certa melodia, un quadro o un tramonto? Come è nato il linguaggio? Come fa il cervello a dare origine alla coscienza? Il famoso neuroscienziato Vilayanur S. Ramachandran indaga le connessioni tra corpo, mente e cervello basandosi sull’osservazione concreta di pazienti che, a causa di difetti genetici o di lesioni cerebrali, presentano sintomi stravaganti e in apparenza inspiegabili. Ci guida così attraverso le più innovative e feconde scoperte scientifiche fino ad aprire prospettive inedite su quelle facoltà che rendono l’uomo davvero unico e speciale fra tutti gli esseri viventi che popolano il nostro pianeta.

Richard Dawkins calls V.S. Ramachandran "the Marco Polo of neuroscience"; another reviewer calls him "the foremost pioneer—the Galileo—of neurocognition." Such ethereal praise finds full justification in this new book, which has been described as "a veritable Voyage of the Beagle through the terrain of brain science and psychology." Ramachandran's talents as a researcher, a theorist, and a storyteller braid gracefully together in this exploration of how our brains make us distinctly human. As readable as it is profound, The Tell-Tale Brain qualifies as the best road map yet to where we're going in neuroscience.
