  Like Daniel LaRusso in The Karate Kid, Stanford medical student Shannon Moffett sat in thrall to the masters of the field of neuroscience. The result...is a riveting account of not only the newest research on the brain but of the scientists doing the work.
SEED magazine
 
  Moffett sandwiches in fascinating interludes tracing the development of the brain from embryonic state to death.
Publishers Weekly
 
  Books about our many-splendored brains seem to be consistently popular, if recent titles like Diane Ackerman’s An Alchemy of Mind, and V.S. Ramachandran’s A Brief Tour of Human Consciousness, as well as Oliver Sacks’s classic The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat, are any indication. Moffett’s contribution to the subject deserves to be at least as widely read, if not more so.
