Throughout the book, basic concepts of electricity, electromagnetism, and neuroscience are addressed and illustrated. It is replete with remarkable discoveries and colorful characters that dramatically changed human culture. Electricity and neuroscience are topics that have fascinated science historians for centuries. Yet, it has only been over the past several decades that medical science historians have appreciated the close interrelationship of these two topics. Robert Baloh uses a historical context of discovery to provide an ideal framework for understanding modern concepts of electricity and neuroscience. The stories of these pioneering researchers can be inspirational for those beginning a career in neuroscience as well as for more experienced researchers. 606 $aNeurosciences 606 $aScience$xHistory 606 $aNeuroscience 606 $aHistory of Science 615 0$aNeurosciences. 615 0$aScience$xHistory. 615 14$aNeuroscience. 615 24$aHistory of Science. 676 $a612.822 700 $aBaloh$b Robert W$g(Robert William),$f1942-$01129231 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910882894203321 996 $aBrain Electricity$94229340 997 $aUNINA
