Brain, Vision, Memory: Tales in the History of Neuroscience by Charles G. Gross

These tales describe the growth of knowledge about the brain from the early Egyptians and Greeks to the present time. Charles G. Gross is an experimental neuroscientist who specializes in brain mechanisms in vision. He is also fascinated by the history of his field. In these engaging tales describing the growth of knowledge about the brain--from the early Egyptians and Greeks to the Dark Ages and the Renaissance to the present time--he attempts to answer the question of how the discipline of neuroscience evolved into its modern incarnation through the twists and turns of history.

These tales describe the growth of knowledge about the brain from the early Egyptians and Greeks to the present time. The author attempts to answer the question of how the discipline of neuroscience evolved into its modern incarnation through the twists and turns of history. The first essay tells the story of the visual cortex, from the first written mention of the brain by the Egyptians to the modern work of Hubel and Wiesel. The second essay focuses on Leonardo Da Vinci's anatomical work on the brain and the eye. The third essay derives from the question of whether there can be a solely theoretical biology or biologist, highlighting the work of Emanuel Swedenborg, the 18th-century Swedish mystic. The fourth essay entails a mystery - how did the largely ignored brain structure called the "hippocampus minor" come to be, and why was it so important in the controversies that swirled about Darwin's theories? The final essay describes the discovery of the visual functions of the temporal and parietal lobes.

Endorsements

"Gross's tales of the history of neuroscience can be warmly recommended to all students of the brain, but especially to those who believe that history began when they were undergraduates. Informative and amusing in equal part, Gross is as fair to those who were wildly wrong as to those who were (relatively) left. . . . Never less than fascinating."

Hi, can you reupload the file? your directory is empty

Get it here:

Looks like aragonit had his folder cleaned out by Rapidshare!!

No files to be found anywhere :(

That's the 1 reason not to post your links in FOLDERS! If somebody complains about a link, you lose everything!! It's always easier to cope with having files deleted one by one rather than all at once ... I know since I had the same thing happen to me not that long ago!! ;(

What BS!

If you cared to read the description to the folders you'd find out where all the stuff is. You need to learn reading at least...

The link now works.

Serious, you have nothing the last time that I look.

Thanks, various books I dont have
