How forty years of research on thirty neurons in the stomach of a lobster has yielded valuable insights for the study of the human brain.Neuroscientist Eve Marder has spent forty years studying thirty neurons on the stomach of a lobster.Her focus on this tiny network of cells has yielded valuable insights into the much more complex workings of the human brain; she has become a leading voice in neuroscience. Our brains selectively recruit networks from about ninety billion available neurons; the connections are extremely complex. In Lessons from the Lobster, Charlotte Nassim describes Marder's work and its significance accessibly and engagingly, tracing the evolution of a supremely gifted scientist's ideas.From the lobster's digestion to human thought is very big leap indeed.
Nevertheless, as Nassim explains, Marder's study of a microscopic knot of
