Synopsis
For centuries, scientists had only one way to study the brain: wait for misfortune to strike - strokes, seizures, infections, horrendous accidents - and see how the victims changed afterwards when different parts of the brain were destroyed.
The stories of these people laid the foundations of modern neuroscience and, century by century, key cases taught scientists what every last region of the brain did.
With lucid explanations and incisive wit, Sam Kean explores the brain's secret passageways and recounts the forgotten tales of the individuals whose struggles, resilience and deep humanity made neuroscience possible.
