"Science writing of the best kind: clear, concise, scholarly, at times even poetic."-- Library Journal. "Written with great clarity, verve and grace, this detailed report...leads the reader carefully through the intricacies of an emerging science still in its infancy."-- Publisher's Weekly "Pivotal....What [Changeux] says in this book may have far-reaching effects for years to come."-- Booklist Jean-Pierre Changeuex, a world-famous neurobiologist, here elucidates our current knowledge of the human brain, taking an interdisciplinary approach and explaining in layman's terms the complex theories and scientific breakthroughs that have significantly improved our understanding in the 20th century. Not only does Neuronal Man offer the best balance sheet we have of our current knowledge of the human brain, it puts forth Changeux's radical, groundbreaking theory: that the concept of "mind" in man is no longer useful, and that an understanding of neurons and synapses and their properties will lead to the comprehension of higher brain functions.
