Resumen del Editor
In January 2015, Barbara Lipska - a leading expert on the neuroscience of mental illness - was diagnosed with melanoma that had spread to her brain. Within months, her frontal lobe, the seat of cognition, began shutting down. She descended into madness, exhibiting dementia- and schizophrenia-like symptoms that terrified her family and coworkers. But miraculously, just as her doctors figured out what was happening, the immunotherapy they had prescribed began to work. Just eight weeks after her nightmare began, Lipska returned to normal. With one difference: she remembered her brush with madness with exquisite clarity.
In The Neuroscientist Who Lost Her Mind, Lipska describes her extraordinary ordeal and its lessons about the mind and brain. She explains how mental illness, brain injury, and age can change our behavior, personality, cognition, and memory. She tells what it is like to experience these changes firsthand. And she reveals what parts of us remain, even when so much else is gone.

Brainstorm follows the stories of people whose medical diagnoses are so strange even their doctor struggles to know how to solve them. A man who sees cartoon characters running across the room; a girl whose world suddenly seems completely distorted, as though she were Alice in Wonderland; another who transforms into a ragdoll whenever she even thinks about moving. The brain is the most complex structure in the universe. Neurologists must puzzle out life-changing diagnoses from the tiniest of clues, the ultimate medical detective work.

When Amy B. Scher was struck with undiagnosed late-stage, chronic Lyme disease, the best physicians in America labeled her condition incurable and potentially terminal. Deteriorating rapidly, she went on a search to save her own life - from the top experts in Los Angeles and the world-renowned Mayo Clinic in Minneapolis to a state-of-the-art hospital in Chicago. After exhausting all of her options in the US, she discovered a possible cure - but it was highly experimental, available only in India, and had as much of a probability of killing her as it did of curing her.

Historia
Julia Fox Garrison refused to listen to the professionals she called Dr. Jerk and Dr. Panic, who - after she suffered a massive, debilitating stroke at age thirty-seven - told her she’d probably die, or to Nurse Doom, who ignored her emergency call button. Instead she heeded the advice of kind, gifted Dr. Neuro, who promised her he would “treat your mind as well as your body.” Julia figured if she could somehow manage to get herself into a wheelchair, at least she’d always find parking. But after many, many months of hospitalization and rehab, Julia not only got into a wheelchair, but she got back out.

Imagine finding a glimmer of good news in a diagnosis of Alzheimer's. And imagine how that would change the outlook of the five million Americans who suffer from Alzheimer's disease and other dementias, not to mention their families, loved ones, and caretakers. A neurologist who's been specializing in dementia and memory loss for more than 20 years, Dr. Gayatri Devi rewrites the story of Alzheimer's by defining it as a spectrum disorder - like autism, Alzheimer's is a disease that affects different people differently.

You get ready to die the way you get ready for a trip. Start by realizing you don't know the way. Listen to a few travel guides. Study the language, look at maps, gather equipment. Let yourself imagine what it will be like. Pack your bags. This book is one of those travel guides - a guide to preparing for your own death and the deaths of people close to you. The fact of death is hard to believe. Sallie Tisdale explores our fears and all the ways death and talking about death make us uncomfortable - but she also explores its intimacies and joys.

Rules of the quantum world seem to say that a cat can be both alive and dead at the same time and a particle can be in two places at once. And that particle is also a wave; everything in the quantum world can described in terms of waves - or entirely in terms of particles. These interpretations were all established by the end of the 1920s, by Erwin Schrödinger, Werner Heisenberg, Paul Dirac, and others. But no one has yet come up with a common sense explanation of what is going on.

Historia
The day her children leave home, Eva climbs into bed and stays there. She's had enough - of her kids' carelessness, her husband's thoughtlessness and of the world's general indifference. Brian can't believe his wife is doing this. Who is going to make dinner? But Eva won't budge; and soon she realises to her horror that everyone has been taking her for granted - including herself.

Historia
A prize-winning journalist with a background in neuroscience, Helen Thomson spent years tracking down people who live with the world's most extraordinary neurological disorders - like a man who tried to break his back because his legs no longer felt like his own, and another who believed that he was dead for nine years. Not content to simply read about these cases on paper, Thomson reached out to 10 people with these afflictions, and they agreed to tell her their stories.

Historia
Rules of the quantum world seem to say that a cat can be both alive and dead at the same time and a particle can be in two places at once. And that particle is also a wave; everything in the quantum world can described in terms of waves - or entirely in terms of particles. These interpretations were all established by the end of the 1920s, by Erwin Schrödinger, Werner Heisenberg, Paul Dirac, and others. But no one has yet come up with a common sense explanation of what is going on.

The Fear and the Freedom is Keith Lowe's follow-up to Savage Continent. While that book painted a picture of Europe in all its horror as World War II was ending, The Fear and the Freedom looks at all that has happened since, focusing on the changes that were brought about because of World War II - simultaneously one of the most catastrophic and most innovative events in history. It killed millions and eradicated empires, while at the same time creating the idea of human rights and giving birth to the UN.

When Amy B. Scher was struck with undiagnosed late-stage, chronic Lyme disease, the best physicians in America labeled her condition incurable and potentially terminal. Deteriorating rapidly, she went on a search to save her own life - from the top experts in Los Angeles and the world-renowned Mayo Clinic in Minneapolis to a state-of-the-art hospital in Chicago. After exhausting all of her options in the US, she discovered a possible cure - but it was highly experimental, available only in India, and had as much of a probability of killing her as it did of curing her.

The book is full of vivid insight into what happens to our bodies in the end. Each chapter considers an aspect of an autopsy alongside an aspect of Carla's own life and work and touches on some of the more controversial aspects of our feelings toward death.

Inspiring and Informative Personal Story
This story was incredible. Told in the first person, it is an incredible narrative about an incredible experience...one that is almost too fantastic to be believed. Although not specifically about dementia, I gained insight into some of the behaviors I've witnessed in others with dementia and/or Alzheimers. It was so inspiring, that it gave me a new perspective on what I might do if I was given a diagnosis that seemed insurmountable. Barbara Lipska, the subject of the story, is one of the world's most impressive women.
My only complaint is the narrator...not that she wasn't great - she was expressive and sincere with a great amount of emotion...it's just that this is a first-person narrative...about a woman who grew up in Poland; has lived and worked in the US for 20-30 years when this takes place; has grown, US-born children, who also can speak Polish; yet her story is narrated by someone with an English accent. As you imagine this woman telling her story, you keep imagining her as an Englishwoman (especially when she says "shed-uled" or "CON-tri-bute" or other English pronunciations), until something about Barbara's Polish heritage comes up. Again - she is an excellent narrator, but I would definitely have preferred hearing someone with a Polish-accented American accent tell Barbara's story.

Cancer in the Brain
This is an amazing telling of a Neuroscientists journey into the madness caused by melanoma in her brain. Already having fought breast cancer, she was now fighting brain cancer. This was very personal for me, having lost a lifelong freind to metastatic breast cancer in her brain.
I am a nurse with interest in brain plasticity when faced with disease or trauma. The possibilites of recovery and survival are almost as different as the patients who journey. Medication can be as cruel as the disease. This was an awesome story of posibility, courage, determination and the cruel reality of disease for any patient or family. While I would never recommend the risk she took in concealing known medical information, I wonder if she ever revealed it to her physician since it would alter the trial information. It was hard to stop listening.
Thank you for sharing your story!

So interesting.
It's not often that you get to hear an account of mental decay from the person who suffered it, especially when that person is a neuroscientist. You should take it when given the chance.

This narrator? Not a fan.
I am giving this book a 5/5 because of its genre: memoir in a medical/science setting. My favorites! Medical and psych details of this book are thoroughly presented, though at times seeming a bit "dumbed down". I would guess this is to simplify the story and give non-medical readers a handle on the brain and all its vast capabilities. Plus it helps to move the story fast without dwelling on small or technical details. I am part of that "non-medical" audience, but I am also an armchair medical geek, and would have enjoyed a more technical focus.
The choice of the narrator doesn't make sense to me, due to her voice, which sounds too old for this protagonist. She has quite a well-defined British tonality and speech cadence and I don't get the reason for driving the story using such a colloquial accent. Compare this narrator to the contemporary professional voice from "Still Alice" and "Every Note Played", where the voice is calm, straightforward, professional and appropriate for a skilled neuroscientist.
But I did manage to accustom my ears to this sound, so that after a certain point I could ignore it.
I especially could not buy this character sounding like a children's book reader. Very juvenile and almost like she is talking down to her audience, not realistic in my view.
I do recommend this book with my five stars, but with the warning that the voice is not consistent with the story and the sing song dialog requires a huge suspension of disbelief.

Lyrical nonfiction
This is an outstanding memoir of Barbara Lipska, a scientist who runs a brain bank and becomes a brain tumor patient. This book gives the reader good insight into how mental illness is influenced by physical conditions within the brain. The first part of her journey through diagnosis and various treatments is told in a lyrical way. We meet her supportive family and see them struggle when Barbara’s tumors cause her to experience schizophrenia. Hearing her view of that time vs. how she seems to her family is painfully fascinating. Excellent narration makes this Audible offering first class!

Touching journey into madness
Fascinating journey through the mind from sanity, to insanity, then back again. For all she knew about the brain, she still often could not see that what was happening to her was not normal for her, partly because her actions were sometimes just more extreme versions of what she regularly did. What does that tell us about how the brain works? Good question that yet remains to be discovered. It's amazing she could recover from so many cancerous tumors. On the flip side, I got a bit tired of constantly hearing about how she and her family were all great athletes. Then again, it's just who they were. Overall a wonderful and interesting book.

Inspiring Story
Finding a way to deal with what life has dealt you is the driving force behind this book. The author's true-life story of her extraordinary circumstances gave me a new understanding of mental illness and how its effects can be ignored for a long time when the person experiencing a breakdown continues to function well and has the knowledge to deny what is happening. Her ability to take us through the labyrinth and find a way to continue to look forward and remain hopeful—not knowing what the future will bring is inspiring.
