"An intelligent young Jew escapes the Nazis, plays soccer at Harvard, and then searches for the roots of episodic memory by studying how sea slugs ignore his repeated poking. He writes a good textbook, grows old and wins the Nobel Prize. He also learns a little something about himself along the way. Good for history of Neuroscience stories."
"THought it would be a little more technical? But he tells the story of his search of becoming a researcher. It is a neat story, allows one to see the things that build who we become no matter the circumstances we become what we are willing to work hard for. Everyone has their own unique path, even this guy.."
"This is very readable yet also very thorough introduction to the science of mind presented as a history of the scientific discoveries that brought it into being. The book paints a vivid picture of how science works, or at least how this particular scientific culture works. So it's interesting for those interested in the history and philosophy of science as well. My only complaint is that towards the end the chapters become much less vivid, less science oriented and more speculative. They aren't are enjoyable as the rest of the book."
"I'm really enjoying this book so far, especially as I'm considering a career in neuroscience research. Kandel's memoirs are both personal and historical. Reading about Kandel's personal growth to eventually become one of the leading scientists of the field has given me much opportunity to reflect on my own career goals. Also learning about the historical development of neuroscience as a discipline has been an interesting to the field as well (and much lighter to read than Principles of Neuroscience!)."
