Description
World-leading neuroscientist and neurosurgeon Dr Rahul Jandial draws on his years of work with patients suffering from extreme brain damage, disorders and illnesses to reveal what they can teach us about the science of the mind. The stories include a language teacher who must choose whether to lose her ability to speak Spanish or English after brain surgery, a former television executive whose life-altering despondency is caused by a tumour, and a fainting teenager who learns that deep breathing can mean the difference between life and death. Combining cutting-edge research with engaging storytelling, the book explores ways to improve memory, control stress and emotions, minimize pain, unleash creativity, raise smart children and reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease. This practical and accessible guide takes readers on a journey through the anatomy of the most fascinating and mysterious of organs.
