Binding: Paperback
Description: 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.
