Connectome by Sebastian Seung
What really makes us who we are? This book shows that our identity does not lie in our genes, but in the connections between our brain cells - our own particular wiring, or 'connectomes'. It reveals the secrets of the brain, showing how our connectome makes each of us uniquely ourselves.
With the first-person flavour of James Watson's Double Helix, Connectome gives a sense of the excitement on the cutting edge of neuroscience * New Scientist *
