Krátky popis
The human brain is an impossibly complex and delicate instrument -
capable of extraordinary calculations, abundant creativity and
linguistic dexterity. But the brain is not just the most brilliant
of evolutionary wonders. It's also one of the most bizarre.This
book shows a whole other side of how brains work - from the patient
who is afraid to take a shower because she fears her body will slip
down the drain to a man who is convinced, against all evidence,
that he is a cat, and a woman who compulsively snacks on cigarette
ashes. Entertaining though they are, these cases are more than just
oddities. In attempting to understand them, neuroscientists have
uncovered important details about how the brain works.BIZARRE will
examine these details while explaining what neuroscience's most
unusual patients have taught us about normal brain function -ideal
both for readers seeking a better appreciation of the inner
workings of the brain and those who simply want some extraordinary
topics for dinner-party conversation.
