Preeminent neuroscientist
V.
S. Ramachandran
investigates strange,
unforgettable cases—from patients who
believe they are dead to sufferers of
phantom limb syndrome and offers
unprecedented insights into the
mysterie
of the human brain,
Why are some of us more creative
than others? What causes autism,
and how might it be detected and
treated? Why do we find certain things beauti¬
ful? How did language evolve? And how does the
brain create that elusive thing: a sense of self?
These are just a few of the fascinating neurologi¬
cal mysteries that V. S. Ramachandran tackles in
his landmark new work.
Ramachandran is famous for his intuitive,
Sherlock Holmes-style approach to baffling neu¬
rological mysteries—from patients who desire to
have a healthy arm or leg amputated to suffer¬
ers of Capgras syndrome who believe their loved
ones to be
imposters.
Not only does Ramachan¬
dran explain these bizarre behaviors in terms of
the innermost workings of the brain, giving us a
tour along the way of recent advances in
neuro¬
science;
he also reveals what these unusual cases
can teach us about the normal human brain and
its unique evolution,
Among the most fascinating topics covered in
this far-reaching book are
mir
ror
neurons: brain
cells that fire both when we perform a specific
action and when we watch someone else perform
that same action. As Ramachandran reveals,
these remarkable neurons may help explain
phenomena ranging from the development of
language and the transmission of culture to
empathy, autism, and even the uniqueness of
the human species.
Ramachandran tackles the most exciting and
controversial topics in brain science with a
storyteller s eye for compelling case studies and
a researcher s flair for new approaches to age-
old questions. Tracing the strange links between
neurology and behavior, The Tell-Tale Brain wi
reward readers with a wealth of new clues into
the mysteries--and the remarkable abilities -of
the human brain.
