The Mathematics of Origami

Description

Memory binds our mental life together. We are who we are in large part because of what we learn and remember. But how does the brain create memories? Nobel Prize winner Eric R. Kandel intertwines the intellectual history of the powerful new science of the mind求a combination of cognitive psychology, neuroscience, and molecular biology求with his own personal quest to understand memory. A deft mixture of memoir and history, modern biology and behavior,
brings readers from Kandel’s childhood in Nazi-occupied Vienna to the forefront of one of the great scientific endeavors of the twentieth century: the search for the biological basis of memory.
