This is somewhat similar to 'the man who thought his wife was a hat'; but the explanations and language are far more enlightening. Neurosurgeons got their start in Medieval France so says this author; with the death of Henry 11. We are treated to many instances where small changes in brain function, disease, force or whatever -- lead to loss of functionality. However, logic is but emotions with experience. Lots of details of scientists, some not so pretty. Epilepsy, memory, emotions, how do we do it? Much of interest here in; and a really interesting and hard to put down tome.
