Eric R. Kandel, the winner of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, is one of the pioneers of modern brain science. His work continues to shape our understanding of how learning and memory work and to break down age-old barriers between the sciences and the arts. In his seminal new audiobook, The Disordered Mind, Kandel draws on a lifetime of pathbreaking research and the work of many other leading neuroscientists to take us on an unusual tour of the brain. He confronts one of the most difficult questions we face: How does our mind, our individual sense of self, emerge from the physical matter of the brain?

Thrilling account of how the brain works

The book begins with the anatomy of a neuron and goes on to functional MRIs. It discusses the importance of genes in schizophrenia, depression and autism. Dr Kandel relates how psychotherapy can be helpful and even re Route neural pathways. All in all a wonderful book.
