You’re invited to a fascinating conversation with neurologist and author Pria Anand to chat about her new book "The Electric Mind: A Neurologist on the Strangeness and Wonder of Our Brains".
In "The Mind Electric", neurologist Pria Anand reveals—through case study, history, fable, and memoir—all that the medical establishment has overlooked: the complexity and wonder of brains in health and in extremis, and the vast gray area between sanity and insanity, doctor and patient, and illness and wellness, each separated from the next by the thin veneer of a different story.
