A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Explorers of the Black Box is a scientific adventure story. The Black Box is the brain. The Explorers are neuroscientists in search of how nerve cells record memories, and they are as ruthless and dauntless as any soldiers of fortune. The book centers around the early, often-controversial research Nobel-Prize winner Eric Kandel. It takes readers behind the scenes of laboratories at Woods Hole, Columbia, Yale and Princeton to create an absorbing account of how the brain works and of how science itself works.

Susan Allport is a science and nature writer whose recent works include The Primal Feast: Food, Sex, Foraging, and Love; A Natural History of Parenting; and Sermons in Stone: The Stone Walls of New England and New York. Explorers of the Black Box is her first book.
