The Brain and how it forms our reality.

The Disorded Mind: What Unusual Brains Tell Us About Ourselves is a marvelous book delving into the physical processes of our brains that work to form our perception and understanding of the world around us. Essentially it covers the information regarding how our mind is formed by the underlying processes of our brains. Eric R. Kandel goes in depth on the different parts of the brain and how pathways take in sensory information and use it to make us the way that we are. However, his approach is done in reverse. He takes information from brains that have disorders and functional issues and uses them to come to an understanding of how everything works and why we think, feel, and interact in the way that we do. It is a fascinating account of neuroscience, psychology, and biology. I highly recommend it to anyone that is fascinated by the construct of life and the brain.
