Eric Kandel

    November 7, 1929

    Eric Kandel is a Nobel laureate whose work delves deeply into psychology and neuroscience. He explores how memory is stored within neurons, uncovering the fundamental biological processes that govern our thoughts and recollections. His research offers a fascinating glimpse into the workings of the mind and how our experiences are shaped at the cellular level.

      Kandel's book, with one foot in the humanities and one foot in the sciences, stands comfortably in both. Writing in deceptively simple prose, not unlike the art he writes about, Kandel lucidly states the biological case for how abstract art challenges us to look so that we can see.

      Now in resplendent color, the new edition continues to define the latest in the scientific understanding of the brain, the nervous system, and human behavior. Each chapter is thoroughly revised and includes the impact of molecular biology in the mechanisms underlying developmental processes and in the pathogenesis of disease. Important features to this edition include a new chapter - Genes and Behavior; a complete updating of development of the nervous system; the genetic basis of neurological and psychiatric disease; cognitive neuroscience of perception, planning, action, motivation and memory; ion channel mechanisms; and much more.
