This book is the second volume of autobiographical essays by distinguished
senior neuroscientists; it is part of the first collection of neuroscience
writing that is primarily autobiographical. As neuroscience is a young
discipline, the contributors to this volume are truly pioneers of scientific
research on the brain and spinal cord. This collection of fascinating essays
should inform and inspire students and working scientists alike. The general
reader interested in science may also find the essays absorbing, as they are
essentially human stories about commitment and the pursuit of knowledge.
The contributors included in this volume are: Lloyd M. Beidler, Arvid Carlsson,
Donald R. Griffin, Roger Guillemin, Ray Guillery,
