Based on the Thirty-Third Series of Patten Foundation Lectures delivered at Indiana University's Bloomington Campus in 1972, Nobel laureate Sir John C. Eccles presents a rigorous yet accessible synthesis of mid-twentieth-century neurophysiology, guiding readers through the architecture of neural transmission, synaptic function, consciousness, and the mind-brain relationship with the authority of a scientist who helped shape the very field he chronicles.\n\nEccles argues with characteristic boldness that the brain is not merely a biological machine but the substrate of a uniquely human inner life — a thesis that places this work at the fascinating intersection of hard science and metaphysics. His prose is precise and methodical, reflecting the discipline of a Distinguished Professor of Physiology and Biophysics, yet it never sacrifices clarity for complexity. Widely regarded as essential reading for students of neuroscience, biology, and philosophy of mind, this volume remains a compelling testament to one of the twentieth century's greatest scientific intellects — leaving the reader to wonder just how much of the brain's mystery still awaits discovery.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203291947227,"sku":"2026200013200-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/4e41ffc0-1ccf-44ee-a35c-2a543206096d.png?v=1788147677","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200013200-secondhand-the-understanding-of-the-brain","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
