Gazzaniga, one of the most important neuroscientists of the twentieth century, gives us an exciting behind-the-scenes look at his seminal work on that unlikely couple, the right and left brain. Foreword by Steven Pinker.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the mid-twentieth century, Michael S. Gazzaniga, “the father of cognitive neuroscience,” was part of a team of pioneering neuroscientists who developed the now foundational split-brain brain theory: the notion that the right and left hemispheres of the brain can act independently from one another and have different strengths.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eTales from Both Sides of the Brain,\u003c\/em\u003e Gazzaniga tells the impassioned story of his life in science and his decades-long journey to understand how the separate spheres of our brains communicate and miscommunicate with their separate agendas. By turns humorous and moving, \u003cem\u003eTales from Both Sides of the Brain\u003c\/em\u003e interweaves Gazzaniga’s scientific achievements with his reflections on the challenges and thrills of working as a scientist. In his engaging and accessible style, he paints a vivid portrait not only of his discovery of split-brain theory, but also of his comrades in arms—the many patients, friends, and family who have accompanied him on this wild ride of intellectual discovery.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HarperCollins Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47070307057904,"sku":"9780062390363","price":6.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780062390363_p0.jpg?v=1763630740","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780062390363","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
