Fifty Shades of Gray Matter

"This is a remarkable memoir-scientifically rigorous while intellectually unpretentious, as engaging as it is edifying. The reader will be both educated and entertained." --Kirkus Reviews

Neurology is more than treating headaches and strokes.

The brain, which has produced all of mankind's art and literature and inventions, can also conjure monsters and nightmares and sexual predators. It can upend lives with a myriad of chemical neurotransmitters coursing through millions of synapses. Each brain is its own unique world, its own reality. The brain can be a confining prison, or a dizzying and limitless cosmos.

You are your brain.

In Fifty Shades of Gray Matter, by Teresella Gondolo, a neurologist confronts a myriad of medical mysteries.
