註釋Because of its daunting complexity, the brain remains the locus of our most devastating, untreatable disorders and diseases. Consider the physical, financial and emotional toll of Alzheimer's disease on patients and caregivers. Or a lifetime of treatment and caregiving for a paraplegic or a quadraplegic. Or the devastation of losing a loved one to an opioid overdose.It has been said that the one in five of us will develop a brain disease and disorder, but five in five of us will know or care for a loved one struggling with diseases/disorders ranging from autism to Alzheimer's, spinal cord paralysis, Parkinson's disease, learning disabilities, addiction, mood disorders, suicide, and much more.The profiles in this book recount the author's meetings and experiences with scientists of astonishing creativity and intelligence who were addressing the thorniest medical problems that worried or affected people I know, and turns out, the rest of the world. Problems like addiction, memory loss, Alzheimer's disease, vision loss from diabetes, brain injury and more. I hope you find the topics and the people covered here inspiring. Their brilliance and compassion always surprised me. I believe they provide a window onto your health and that of your loved ones, along with the knowledge power that you hold by being an owner of the most astonishing resource in the known, or unknown, universe: the human brain.Table of Contents Introduction.
