A highly original theory of how the mind-brain works, based on the author's study of single neuronal cells.
Rodolfo Llinás approaches the brain through an evolutionary lens, positing that the brain's development was fundamentally driven by the need for organisms to actively navigate and interact with their environment. His extensive research delves into crucial areas such as the cerebellum and thalamus, uncovering the intricate mechanisms of neuronal communication. Llinás further explores the functional implications of these complex systems, touching upon broader consequences for our understanding of human cognition and behavior. His work offers a fascinating perspective on the interplay between evolutionary pressures and the brain's structural and functional organization.
