Overview
Most of the Nobel Prizes in medicine have been awarded for research on the brain: the story of the winners is the story of great achievements in medicine and the neurobiology over the past hundred years.
How does the brain work? By what mechanisms do neurons receive signals from the world and transform them into sensations, anxieties, emotions, memories, with an electro-chemical communication code employed by all living species? And how does the brain produce hormones that regulate major functions of the body? Life and research of the forty Nobel Prize winners have provided crucial answers to these questions.
Authors recount the discovery and treatment of numerous diseases nervous and mental through a pathway that over the course of the twentieth century and the first two decades of this new millennium has opened Pandora's box of the previously unknown mechanisms that serve us to think and be conscious.
