The modular brain : how new discoveries in neuroscience are answering age-old questions about memory, free will, consciousness, and personal identity / Richard M. Restak

by Richard Restak

Through clinical case studies, this work explores the concept of the modular brain, showing how independent regions control separate functions and how physical damage to the brain can profoundly alter memory, consciousness, and identity.
