What We Can Learn from Extraordinary Minds

How does the physical structure of the brain affect our relationship with the world? How does our brain encode our consciousness, emotions, language and art with the signals sent by billions of nerve cells? How does this extraordinarily complex network form our sense of self, which evolves as we mature but remains surprisingly persistent throughout our lives?

Nobel Prize winner Eric Kandel, one of the pioneers of brain science, explains how disruptions in the complex neural networks that create consciousness and self-awareness can turn into autism, depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and post-traumatic stress disorder. By showing the relationship of brain science with cognitive psychology and the brain with the mind, it sheds light on the functioning of the human mind and the mechanisms that create many aspects of the common human experience such as sociality, self, memory, decision-making, creativity, and underlying many problems such as anxiety, stress and addiction. .

Kandel gives the enthusiasts of the field the opportunity to witness many aspects of psychiatric research, diagnosis and treatment approaches that will be discussed, and conveys the paths of the discoveries and research that have built brain science throughout history, the biological origins of impaired mental processes and current treatment approaches in a systematic and understandable language.
