The brain is the most complex structure in the universe. In the book "Brainstorm," the Wellcome Prize-winning author discovers the most astonishing symptoms that medicine has to offer. "Brainstorm" explores the stories of people whose symptoms are so strange that even doctors struggle to find a solution. A man sees cartoon characters moving, a teenager returns home with torn clothes, a girl experiences a world reminiscent of "Wonderland," and another turns into a fractured doll every time she thinks of moving.
The author, one of the UK's leading neurologists, takes you on a journey that will open your eyes to the vast details of the brain and the limitless variety of human abilities and experiences. From the déjà vu feelings leading to a damaged hippocampus to the sense of fear of movement that may indicate a brain tumor, this book is a thrilling exploration of medical analysis and the human soul.
