From Publishers Weekly

When, as a medical student in the 1950s, Kandel said he wanted to locate the ego and id in the brain, his mentor told him he was overreaching, that the brain had to be studied "cell by cell." After his initial dismay, Kandel took on the challenge and in 2000 was awarded a Nobel Prize for his groundbreaking research showing how memory is encoded in the brain's neuronal circuits. Kandel's journey into the brain spans five decades, beginning in the era of early research into the role of electrical currents flowing through neurons and ending in the age of genetic engineering. It took him from early studies of reflexes in the lowly squid to the founding of a bioengineering firm whose work could some day develop treatments for Alzheimer's and on to a rudimentary understanding of the cellular mechanisms underlying mental illness. Kandel's life also took him on another journey: from Vienna, which his Jewish family fled after the Anschluss, to New York City and, decades later, on visits back to Vienna, where he boldly confronted Austria's unwillingness to look at its collusion in the Final Solution. For anyone considering a career in science, the early part of this intellectual autobiography presents a fascinating portrait of a scientist's formation: learning to trust his instincts on what research to pursue and how to pose a researchable question and formulate an experiment. Much of the science discussion is too dense for the average reader. But for anyone interested in the relationship between the mind and the brain, this is an important account of a creative and highly fruitful career. 50 b&w illus. (Mar.)

From Scientific American

Kandel, who received the Nobel Prize in 2000, traces advances in understanding learning and memory. His own groundbreaking findings showed that learning produces changes in behavior by modifying the strength of connections between nerve cells. He conveys his immense grasp of the science beautifully, but it is his personal recollections that make the book especially compelling. He begins with his searing childhood memories of the German annexation of Austria and his family’s escape to the U.S. when he was nine. And he ends with a conference he organized in Vienna to examine the strange reluctance of Austria (unlike Germany) to acknowledge its role in the Holocaust. One comes away in awe of the scientific advances—and of a life well and fully lived.

读后感

评分

【注】本书评所引用原书内容及页码已根据本人翻译的全新中文版做了更新。 最近先后读了两本科学家自传,神经科学大牛Kandel与社会心理学大牛Aronson。碰巧的是,不仅这两位大牛的人生经历有颇多相似之处,连书的内容都有些异曲同工。就经历来说,两位都是犹太人,自然在价值观...

从来没有一本科普书让我感觉到这么肌无力,虽然连续攻读了几天,做了十几页笔记,依然觉得这本书信息量太大,思考过于深邃,难以一时消化。我仅有的薄弱的高中生物学知识常常在一些稍微专业的生物学概念和术语上很迷惘,而我的专业知识却集中在制造业和IT之上,因此只能大...

小时候,我经常会思考这些有些无聊的问题:记忆有重量吗?会不会有一天我的记忆会溢出大脑?很快我就意识到,不论我怎么努力地学习,不停地记住新的东西,我的体重也不会有丝毫的增加,脑子也更不会满出来。记忆本身是个奇妙的无底洞!再后来我发现,记忆确实是有重量的。痛苦...

再谈本书的内容 拿着印厂送来的实体书,我花几天时间通读了一遍。这是一个痛并快乐着的过程。阅读体验本身是很快乐的,特别是面对这样一本手不释卷的佳作;无奈我一边读一边还想着给文本捉虫,实际上相当于同时开动两个脑子在读,字面意义地有时真的会张嘴朗读以检查通顺感,字...

五年了。 在我提笔撰写这篇序言时,脑海里正经历着一次心理时间旅行,围绕本书翻译工作的种种记忆及情绪涌上心头。这些往事对我个人来说很有意义,却没必要与读者分享。作为一名把这本书通读过许多遍的“资深”读者,我试图站在读者的角度,分享这部笔酣墨饱之作的吸睛之处,并...

这本书其实就是Kandel个人的研究史成长史,对个人的学术过程有详尽的叙述,所以不适合并不关心他本人的人观看,看到一半,我都烦了。

评分

这书应该叫《科学家的自我修养》。同时也是神经科学很好的入门书(前提是你要有一些生物化学方面的知识)。

评分

其中内容大部分从其它渠道比如科学美国人了解了。所以所获不多。

集科普、学科史和自传于一体,有趣而激动人心(并且不需要像看Fortey的Life那样狂查字典…捂脸…)。相见恨晚。五星。
