Book Overview
>>>“A stunning book.”—Oliver SacksCharting the intellectual historical past of the emerging biology of thoughts, Eric R. Kandel illuminates how behavioral psychology, cognitive psychology, neuroscience, and molecular biology have converged into a highly effective new science of mind. This science now gives nuanced insights into typical mental functioning and disease, and concurrently opens pathways to a lot more successful healing.
Driven by vibrant curiosity, Kandel’s individual quest to realize memory is threaded throughout this absorbing historical past. Starting with his childhood in Nazi-occupied Vienna, In Search of Memory chronicles Kandel’s outstanding career from his preliminary fascination with historical past and psychoanalysis to his groundbreaking work on the biological approach of memory, which earned him the Nobel Prize.
A deft mixture of memoir and background, modern day biology and behavior, In Search of Memory traces how a brilliant scientist’s intellectual journey intersected with 1 of the wonderful scientific endeavors of the twentieth century: the search for the biological basis of memory….
