A graphic novel that takes us on a tour through the wonders and mysteries of the human brainâfrom a renowned husband-and-wife team of cognitive neuroscientists.
What The Reviewers Say
... extraordinary.
... weaves a delicate dance between memoir and popular science.
In addition to the authors’ knowledgeable tours of the relevant science, the graphic element serves to reinforce the spirit of collaboration, one of the book’s primary themes.
... chock-full of science facts and delves into issues such as bias in academic research and mental disorders. Personal anecdotes wind a path through dense topics made accessible for general readers. The art style, however, skews picture book and sometimes feels flat. Though the presentation leaves something to be desired, the work overall has the feel of being invited to dinner with a friend’s eccentric genius parents: there are some awkward moments, but readers will learn much by the last course..
