The brain tells. What makes us people

Based on the strange and forcing cases, an outstanding neurologist and neuropsychologist invites the reader to make an unprecedented trip to the evolution of the unique human brain.

Villanur Ramachandran (V. S. Ramachandran) is so ahead of everyone in his area that Richard Dokins (Richard Dawkins) called him “Marco Polo Neuronauki.”

In this great work, Ramachandran speaks of his discoveries that makes a person unique. Passing us through a large number of practical situations, he tells us about the functions of the brain and its evolution. Systezia is, for example, a window in the brain mechanisms of what makes some of us more creative than others. And autism, the discoverer of the new approaches of the treatment of which is the author, gives us the opportunity to understand such an aspect of our being as self -awareness. Ramachandran takes the most unexpected and conflicting issues of neurology and with the remarkable talent of the narrator and the deep thinking of the researcher sheds light on the old issues of science with the help of new approaches.
