Portraits of the Mind: Brain Cells Under Microscope

Portraits of the Mind: Visualizing the Brain from Antiquity to the 21st Century By Carl Schoonover is a book that is to be released on November 1. Portraits of the Mind follows the fascinating history of our exploration of the brain through images, from medieval sketches and 19th-century drawings by the founder of modern neuroscience to images produced using state-of-the-art techniques, allowing us to see the fantastic networks in the brain as never before.
Below is a small preview from the upcoming book.
