In Search of Memory: The Emergence of a New Science of Mind

A deft mixture of memoir and history, modern biology and behavior, In Search of Memory brings readers from Kandel's childhood in Nazi-occupied Vienna to the forefront of one of the great scientific endeavors of the twentieth century: the search for the biological basis of memory. We are who we are in large part because of what we learn and remember.

But how does the brain create memories? Nobel Prize winner Eric R. A stunning book. Oliver sacks Memory binds our mental life together. Kandel intertwines the intellectual history of the powerful new science of the mind―a combination of cognitive psychology, neuroscience, and molecular biology―with his own personal quest to understand memory.

The Disordered Mind: What Unusual Brains Tell Us About Ourselves

A nobel prize–winning neuroscientist’s probing investigation of what brain disorders can tell us about human natureEric R. Used book in Good Condition. His work continues to shape our understanding of how learning and memory work and to break down age-old barriers between the sciences and the arts. In his seminal new book, the disordered Mind, Kandel draws on a lifetime of pathbreaking research and the work of many other leading neuroscientists to take us on an unusual tour of the brain.

But sometimes those connections are disrupted. While these disruptions bring great suffering, they can also reveal the mysteries of how the brain produces our most fundamental experiences and capabilities―the very nature of what it means to be human. He confronts one of the most difficult questions we face: How does our mind, our individual sense of self, emerge from the physical matter of the brain? The brain’s 86 billion neurons communicate with one another through very precise connections.

Only then can we grapple with the big question of how billions of neurons generate consciousness itself. Studies of autism illuminate the neurological foundations of our social instincts; research into depression offers important insights on emotions and the integrity of the self; and paradigm-shifting work on addiction has led to a new understanding of the relationship between pleasure and willpower.

By studying disruptions to typical brain functioning and exploring their potential treatments, feeling, behavior, memory, we will deepen our understanding of thought, and creativity. The brain processes that give rise to our mind can become disordered, Parkinson’s, addiction, resulting in diseases such as autism, depression, schizophrenia, and post-traumatic stress disorder.

Kandel, the winner of the nobel prize in Physiology or Medicine for his foundational research into memory storage in the brain, is one of the pioneers of modern brain science.

The Age of Insight: The Quest to Understand the Unconscious in Art, Mind, and Brain, from Vienna 1900 to the Present

Used book in Good Condition. Neuroscience. Kandel tells the story of how these pioneers—freud, schnitzler, and schiele—inspired by the vienna school of medicine, Klimt, Kokoschka, how we think and feel, in turn influenced the founders of the Vienna School of Art History to ask pivotal questions such as What does the viewer bring to a work of art? How does the beholder respond to it? These questions prompted new and ongoing discoveries in psychology and brain biology, leading to revelations about how we see and perceive, and how we respond to and create works of art.

The vienna school of Medicine led the way with its realization that truth lies hidden beneath the surface. Kandel takes us into the world of Vienna to trace, in rich and rewarding detail, the ideas and advances made then, and their enduring influence today. Used book in Good Condition.
