The Tell-Tale Brain, you gotta read it!

The latest book I have read - and re-read - is:  "The Tell-Tale Brain" by V.S. Ramachandran. (w.w. Norton, New York, 2011) 
He is an neuroscience expert and operates out of UCSD. 

During the course of reading this book, I have - at many occasions - made a note in the margin, that simply says:  "NG". 
No, it  does not stand for "No Good" but it is the initials of Neil Gillman, because The Philosophy of Neil Gillman is totally commensurate with up-to-date neuro-scientific research! 
I strongly urge you to read this book, if you haven't already done so.
