Reviews
"Our ways of thinking and understanding the brain and our lives as people, along with the progress of computer science are also affected by The Biology of Thought. This is science writing at its finest and most cerebral, and should not be missed." --Pacific Book Review "An exhaustive look at the process behind the formation of thoughts and memories... One particular chapter, which goes deeper into the formation of memory traces and dendritic pleats, may be the most interesting section for general readers, as it discusses mental pathways that exist in utero and in newborns-which, he says, may explain artistic prodigies, such as Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart... An engaging, in-depth, and accessible book on brain function." --Kirkus Reviews
