In the final volume of his historical neuroscience trilogy,
prize-winning author Alan J. McComas recounts the research that led
to recognition of the hippocampus, a structure deep within the
brain, as being primarily responsible for memory. This intriguing
and exciting account includes observations on patients with memory
loss as well as insights from ingenious laboratory experiments.
Using several arguments in support, McComas suggests that it is the
electrical impulse activity of neurons in the hippocampus that
creates consciousness and that the latter is, in fact, the
ever-changing sequence of short-term memories. He show us how a
deeper knowledge of the hippocampus can help us develop a fuller
understanding of Alzheimer's disease and other disorders of memory
and behaviour, including 'long COVID. Lavishly illustrated,
Aranzio's Seahorse will be of value not only to neuroscientists,
psychologists, and philosophers but to all those interested in the
workings of the brain and in the history of its exploration.
