A few years ago, I read V.S. Ramachandran's book on Phantom Limb Syndrome for a brain course I was taking. I've also seen him as a narrator or expert on multiple series. He offers a refreshing and understandable explanation of how the human brain works.On 2/14/2011, NPR's Fresh Air did a review of his newest book called "The Tell-Tale Brain: A Neuroscientist's Quest for What Makes Us Human." The review speaks well of Ramachandran's book and there is an excerpt in the article. They also have a wonderful 18-minute story and conversation with the good doctor. Below are links to purchase his books--they make for wonderful reading for both student and teacher alike. I am also including a couple of his videos.
