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.

評分一個科學傢的心路曆程
評分好看!
評分好書好書,但是專業信息量有些過大,還得重讀,重讀。
評分:無
从来没有一本科普书让我感觉到这么肌无力,虽然连续攻读了几天,做了十几页笔记,依然觉得这本书信息量太大,思考过于深邃,难以一时消化。我仅有的薄弱的高中生物学知识常常在一些稍微专业的生物学概念和术语上很迷惘,而我的专业知识却集中在制造业和IT之上,因此只能大...
評分这是我读过的最好的科普著作,等慢慢消化了再写个书评吧,先把几个勘误贴一下(整本书的翻译仍然是非常高质量的)。 P197倒数第二段。 译文:Watkins和Graham Collingridge发现在海马中谷氨酸充当两种受体:AMPA受体和NMDA受体,AMPA受体调节一般的突触传递并且在突触前神经元...
評分这是一本不可多得的好书,五星推荐。 书名“in search of memory”一语双关,一方面指作者的研究领域,一方面又指本书的内容:凭借记忆写出的人生自传。 说起脑科学,在数年前差点和它结下缘分。当时在研究生入学选择时有几个可能的去处,其中之一是中科院脑认知科学研究所(似...

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...
