A classic account of the relationship between the human brain mind. Can the mind be explained only by what we know about the brain, or are both essential as separate components? A compelling personal account of his experiences as a neurosurgeon and scientist observing the inner workings of the brain in conscious patients. The American author was the world's foremost neurologist involved in mind-brain research at the time of his death in 1976. (This copy: First Princeton paperback printing, 1978. SCARCE thus.).
