Description
The Disordered Mind: What Unusual Brains Tell Us about Ourselves by Eric R. Kandel Neurological and psychiatric disorders have long been viewed as distinct, with one affecting the brain and the other the mind. However, recent breakthroughs in understanding how these functions go wrong offer a unique insight into the workings of the healthy brain. By studying where brain function goes awry, scientists and clinicians can develop more effective treatments and preventative strategies. This book explores the latest research on brain disruptions and their impact on thought, feeling, behaviour, memory and creativity. Dr Kandel's pioneering work sheds light on how these conditions can deepen our understanding of the human mind, ultimately leading to improved medical care and potentially a unified theory of mind.
