From Austria, Through Aplysia, Toward the Mind

摘要

Eric Kandel's In Search of Memory is an enchanting book that has a broad historical and conceptual sweep reminiscent of a David Lean film. It takes us on a journey through the life of one of our greatest neuroscientists, intertwining his personal intellectual history with the events that were simultaneously occurring on the world stage. In the process we meet not only Eric but his many compatriots, who have shared the journey with him.
