Neil is an epileptic undergoing surgery which necessitates mapping his brain, and his case is used as a vehicle to explain the workings of the brain to a general audience. Calvin is a neurophysiologist and Ojemann a neurosurgeon; but neither is a great writer, and the information, though inherently fascinating, is bogged down in fictional conversations and "novelistic" narrative.

Hardback. Zustand: Good. In a series of stories before, after, and even during neurosurgery, an epileptic patient, Neil; his surgeon, George Ojemann; and neuroscientist William Calvin work together to remove a portion of Neil's temporal lobe. If they do it right, they will have a good chance of putting an end to Neil's seizures. If they slice too far to the left or right, they will wipe out essential parts of Neil's memory, or his ability to follow a joke to the punch line, or maybe his ability to recognize his wife's face. In essence, they can erase or alter parts of Neil.Conversations with Neil's Brain takes us inside the operating room and allows us to be part of this eerie process of discovery, using it to provide a unique window on human consciousness and the nature of human identity. The mapping of Neil's brain brings to life as never before the astounding specificity by which the brian operates, making clear why language, memory, and decision making are so complex, and why the cures for such ailments as learning disabilities, mental disorders, Alzheimer's, and strokes continue to elude the world's best medical efforts. In the context of this unique surgical drama, Conversations with Neil's Brain unfolds as an intensely compelling read. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers CIN0201632179G
