From Publishers Weekly
When, as a medical student in the 1950s, Kandel said he wanted to locate the ego and id in the brain, his mentor told him he was overreaching, that the brain had to be studied "cell by cell." After his initial dismay, Kandel took on the challenge and in 2000 was awarded a Nobel Prize for his groundbreaking research showing how memory is encoded in the brain's neuronal circuits. Kandel's journey into the brain spans five decades, beginning in the era of early research into the role of electrical currents flowing through neurons and ending in the age of genetic engineering. It took him from early studies of reflexes in the lowly squid to the founding of a bioengineering firm whose work could some day develop treatments for Alzheimer's and on to a rudimentary understanding of the cellular mechanisms underlying mental illness. Kandel's life also took him on another journey: from Vienna, which his Jewish family fled after the Anschluss, to New York City and, decades later, on visits back to Vienna, where he boldly confronted Austria's unwillingness to look at its collusion in the Final Solution. For anyone considering a career in science, the early part of this intellectual autobiography presents a fascinating portrait of a scientist's formation: learning to trust his instincts on what research to pursue and how to pose a researchable question and formulate an experiment. Much of the science discussion is too dense for the average reader. But for anyone interested in the relationship between the mind and the brain, this is an important account of a creative and highly fruitful career. 50 b&w illus. (Mar.)

From Scientific American
Kandel, who received the Nobel Prize in 2000, traces advances in understanding learning and memory. His own groundbreaking findings showed that learning produces changes in behavior by modifying the strength of connections between nerve cells. He conveys his immense grasp of the science beautifully, but it is his personal recollections that make the book especially compelling. He begins with his searing childhood memories of the German annexation of Austria and his family’s escape to the U.S. when he was nine. And he ends with a conference he organized in Vienna to examine the strange reluctance of Austria (unlike Germany) to acknowledge its role in the Holocaust. One comes away in awe of the scientific advances—and of a life well and fully lived.

好書好書,但是專業信息量有些過大,還得重讀,重讀。
評分集科普、學科史和自傳於一體,有趣而激動人心(並且不需要像看Fortey的Life那樣狂查字典…捂臉…)。相見恨晚。五星。
評分讀過的最好的科普書
評分非常詳細的介紹瞭自己學術生涯發展史,也是一部很好的分子,細胞生物心理學的簡介史。雖然我比較欣賞整體和諧的中國哲學觀,但是像作者這樣詳細的break down對於理解整體將很有幫助。看完之後我想若是早幾年在我上大學甚至是高中的時候就看到這種書,會不會我的人生方嚮就此改變。一本閤適的書足夠改變一個小孩的興趣並奠定其以後的發展方嚮。
評分其中內容大部分從其它渠道比如科學美國人瞭解瞭。所以所獲不多。
五年了。 在我提笔撰写这篇序言时,脑海里正经历着一次心理时间旅行,围绕本书翻译工作的种种记忆及情绪涌上心头。这些往事对我个人来说很有意义,却没必要与读者分享。作为一名把这本书通读过许多遍的“资深”读者,我试图站在读者的角度,分享这部笔酣墨饱之作的吸睛之处,并...
評分小时候,我经常会思考这些有些无聊的问题:记忆有重量吗?会不会有一天我的记忆会溢出大脑?很快我就意识到,不论我怎么努力地学习,不停地记住新的东西,我的体重也不会有丝毫的增加,脑子也更不会满出来。记忆本身是个奇妙的无底洞!再后来我发现,记忆确实是有重量的。痛苦...
評分看了 Eric Kandel 的自传“In Search of Memory”。值得一读!特别是书的前三分之一(1-10章),还有第30章“Learning from Memory: Prospects”是最作者一生科研的回顾,以及对未来他所感兴趣领域的描述以及感兴趣的原因。 作者Eric Kandel 是美国哥伦比亚大学神经学的教授,...
評分这本美籍犹太裔神经科学家、诺贝尔生理学或医学奖得主埃里克·坎德尔写的《追寻记忆的痕迹》,身为一个996,我花了20天左右,每天下班之后利用业余的时间坚持阅读完毕。每天仅读1~2章,不敢读太多,这是因为这本书有太多太多对我来说未知的词汇,以及大量的理论需要消化。读的...
