Price: 1356.00 RUR
In The Tell-Tale Brain, renowned neurologist and neuropsychologist V. S. Ramachandran takes readers on an unprecedented journey into the evolution of the uniquely human mind. Drawing on strange and thought-provoking case studies, Ramachandran—whom Richard Dawkins has called the "Marco Polo of neuroscience"—explores what makes us human.
Through a wealth of practical examples, he reveals the brain’s functions and evolution. Synesthesia, for instance, serves as a window into the brain mechanisms that make some people more creative than others. Autism, for which the author has developed new treatment approaches, offers insight into self-awareness—a fundamental aspect of our existence.
Ramachandran tackles the most unexpected and controversial questions in neuroscience with a remarkable storytelling gift and deep scientific thinking. He sheds new light on age-old questions using fresh approaches, making this a compelling read for anyone curious about the mind’s mysteries.
