Eric Kandel is, without a doubt, one of the finest intellects in neuroscience…
And surely one of the most cheerful!
A worthy Nobel Prize winner, his huge shadow looms over all areas of mind science.
Although Eric Kandel has an extensive range of research interests…
It is his masterful elucidation of the mechanisms of learning and memory that stands out.
An outstanding breakthrough, it was as perceptive as his choice of research animal…the slug Aplysia.
In Search of Memory, Kandel’s first book, offers a remarkable insight into how his own mind works.
It is a treasure-trove of knowledge for anyone who engages the brain…
And an indispensable fount of wisdom for those who study it.
