A neurosurgeon’s work—and the mysteries it raised
Jefferson Lewis’s biography traces Wilder Penfield’s work in neurosurgery and neurology, linking his efforts to treat epilepsy with his mapping of the human brain. The description also points to a question that extended beyond those scientific achievements: Penfield’s interest in the still-unresolved mystery of the mind. The book therefore brings together the history of brain research and the broader inquiry into how the brain relates to the mind.
Based on publisher information and book metadata.
Wilder Penfield was a pioneering neurosurgeon and neurologist who not only revolutionized the treatment for epilepsy but in the process mapped out the human brain for the first time. Much of what we know today about the brain is based on Penfield's work - but he was not satisfied with his widely-heralded scientific work (four times nominated for the Nobel Prize) - he wanted to conquer the mystery of the mind.
