Descartes' error : emotion, reason, and the human brain / by Damasio, Antonio R.,author.(CARDINAL)353777;
Includes bibliographical references (pages [269]-297) and index.Introduction -- Unpleasantness in Vermont -- Gage's brain revealed -- A modern Phineas Gage -- In colder blood -- Assembling an explanation -- Biological regulation and survival -- Emotions and feelings -- The somatic-marker hypothesis -- Testing the somatic-marker hypothesis -- The body-minded brain -- A passion for reasoning -- Postscriptum."In this wondrously lucid and engaging book, renowned neurologist Antonio Damasio demonstrates what many of us have long suspected: emotions are not a luxury, they are essential to rational thinking. Descartes' Error takes the reader on an enthralling journey of scientific discovery, starting with the case of Phineas Gage--a construction foreman who in 1848 survived a freak accident in which a 3 1/2 foot iron rod passed through his head--and continuing on to Damasio's experiences with modern-day neurological patients affected by brain damage. Far from interfering with rationality, his research shows us, the absence of emotion and feeling can break down rationality and make wise decision making almost impossible." -- Provided by publisher.

Understanding disorders of the brain [videorecording] / by Neargarder, Sandy,teacher.; Teaching Company,publisher.(CARDINAL)349444;
Lecturer: Sandy Neargarder, Bridgewater State University.The brain is a complex and mysterious organ. When everything goes right, it is a finely tuned machine that serves as our body's central processing unit. But like computers on the fritz, things occasionally go haywire in the brain, and the effects can be crushing. What happens when things go wrong? The fields of psychology, neuroscience, and more recently neuropsychology are developing rapidly, offering more clues to unlocking the secrets of the brain. In the century and a half since railroad worker Phineas Gage's famous personality-altering injury, scientists have mapped out the anatomy of the brain and examined the pathology of disorders such as Down syndrome; Autism spectrum disorder; Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD); Parkinson's disease; and Alzheimer's and other dementias.
