Books by Eric R. (Columbia University Medical Center) Kandel

The Nobel Prize-winning neuroscientist Eric R. Kandel shows how science can inform the way we experience a work of art and seek to understand its meaning. He illustrates how reductionism-distillation of larger scientific or aesthetic concepts into smaller components-has been used by scientists and artists alike to pursue their respective truths.

Neuroscientist Eric R. Kandel recounts his remarkable career since receiving the Nobel in 2000. He takes readers through his lab's scientific advances as well as his efforts to promote public understanding of science and to put brain science and art into conversation.
