Description

The Map in Her Mind  |  by J. J. Jonas

May-Britt Moser studies rats navigating mazes and helps discover grid cells, the brain’s internal positioning system. J. J. Jonas connects the Nobel-winning research to the fading maps of Alzheimer’s disease and the human longing to find a route home.

Mapping Thought  |  by J. J. Jonas

Patricia Goldman-Rakic maps working memory in the prefrontal cortex and clarifies dopamine’s role in attention, thought, and neurological illness. J. J. Jonas shows how her once-radical research reshaped understanding of schizophrenia, ADHD, Parkinson’s disease, and the mental filing cabinet that holds a thought in place.
