Projections: A Story of Human Emotions
Categories: Medical Books, Science & Math
Projections is a book by Stanford psychiatrist and neuroscientist Karl Deisseroth about the biology of human feelings. Deisseroth, a pioneer of optogenetics, combines stories of patients he has treated, people living with depression, autism, eating disorders, dementia and other conditions, with discoveries about how the brain works. He uses each case to explore where emotions come from, how brain circuits create our inner experiences, and what goes wrong when the mind falls ill.
