Portraits of the Mind: Visualizing the Brain from Antiquity to the 21st Century, Carl Schoonover

Portraits of the Mind: Visualizing the Brain from Antiquity to the 21st Century(Abrams, November 2010) follows the fascinating exploration of the brain through images. These beautiful black-and-white and vibrantly colored images, many resembling abstract art, are employed daily by scientists around the world, but most have never before been seen by the general public. From medieval sketches and 19th-century drawings by the founder of modern neuroscience to images produced using state-of-the-art techniques, readers are invited to witness the fantastic networks in the brain.
