Brain Quest Série

V této zásadní knize neurovědec V. S. Ramachandran zkoumá různé aspekty lidského vnímání a přináší fascinující pohled na spojení mezi neurologií a lidským chováním. Autor, přezdívaný Galileem neurovědy, odhaluje tajemství mozku a vysvětluje bizarní chování a neurální mechanismy, které stojí za duševními poruchami, jako je porucha tělesné identity či Capgrasův syndrom. Pomocí případových studií pacientů ilustruje, jak spolu tyto fascinující případy souvisejí, a poskytuje nové vodítka k pochopení neurologických odlišností mezi lidmi a zvířaty. Kniha se snaží odpovědět na otázky jako: Jak se vyvinul jazyk? Proč považujeme některé věci za krásné? Co způsobuje, že někteří lidé jsou tvořivější? Jak mozek vytváří pocit vlastního já? Proč se někdy reaguje na bolest smíchem? Jaké jsou příčiny autismu a jak jej rozpoznat a léčit? Proč lidé se záchvatovitými onemocněními spánkových laloků zažívají setkání s Bohem a projevují hypergrafii? A proč pacienti s poškozeným pravým temenním lalokem odmítají hlásit svou levou paži, nebo proč anorektička s dobrým zrakem vidí v zrcadle obézní postavu? Tato kniha přináší hluboké a provokativní pohledy na lidskou psychologii a neurologii.

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.
