The Neuroscientist Who Lost Her Mind: My Tale of Madness and Recovery Lipska Barbara K.Paperback
In the tradition of My Stroke of Insight and Brain on Fire, this powerful memoir recounts Barbara Lipska's deadly brain cancer and explains its unforgettable lessons about the brain and mind.Neuroscientist Lipska was diagnosed early in 2015 with metastatic melanoma in her brain's frontal lobe. Gradually, after a course of immunotherapy, Lipska returned to normal functioning, amazingly recalled her experience, and through her knowledge of neuroscience identified the ways in which her brain changed during treatment. As the cancer progressed and was treated, she experienced behavioral and cognitive symptoms connected to a range of mental disorders, including dementia and her professional specialty, schizophrenia.Lipska's family and associates were alarmed by the changes in her behavior, which she failed to acknowledge herself.
