Something Hidden: The Life of Wilder Penfield

By Jefferson Lewis

Book Overview

Wilder Penfield was a pioneering neurosurgeon and neurologist who not only revolutionized the treatment for epilepsy but in the process mapped out the human brain for the first time. Much of what we know today about the brain is based on Penfield's work - but he was not satisfied with his widely-heralded scientific work (four times nominated for the Nobel Prize) - he wanted to conquer the mystery of the mind.
