A Molecule Away from Madness: Tales of the Hijacked Brain
Description :
A neurologist regales listeners with extraordinary stories of the brain
under siege.Our brains are the most complex machines known to
humankind, but they have an Achilles heel: The very molecules that
allow us to exist can also sabotage our minds. Here are true
accounts of unruly molecules and the diseases that form in their
wake, from total loss of inhibitions to florid psychosis to compulsive
lying.Cognitive neurologist Sara Manning Peskin demystifies the
most curious neurological phenomena through the perspective of
patients, researchers, and science. She introduces us to a woman
stuck in the Walking Dead, a family wracked with
Alzheimer’sdisease, and an entire region gripped by a
baffling epidemic. By tracing the molecular causes for neurologic
diseases, Peskin highlights cutting-edge developments in cognitive
research, making the case that these are the stories that will one
day teach us how to cure dementia and other diseases of the brain.A
Molecule Away from Madnessoffers a captivating, singular view of
the human brain.
