Description:
Cambridge: Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2000. Hardback octavo, dustjacket, very good condition (in very good dustjacket), figures, edges lightly foxed. 118 pp. Antonio Battro relates the extraordinary story of Nico, a three-year-old Argentinian boy who was given a right hemispherectomy to control severe intractable epilepsy. The distinguished neuroscientist describes his work with Nico over several years and explains how a boy with only half a brain has developed into a bright child with relatively minor physical and mental impairment. Nico's so-called right-hemisphere skills - mathematics, visual arts, and music - have migrated to the left hemisphere. Nico performs well above average verbally, a left-brain skill. Charts Nico's "neuroeducation" with humor and compassion in a book that is part case history, and part a study of consciousness and the brain.
