Abstract

Eeuwenlang is er onderscheid gemaakt tussen lichaam en geest. Psychische stoornissen zijn altijd opgevat als zuiver geestelijk en niet lichamelijk. Maar de werkelijkheid is dat er helemaal geen onderscheid gemaakt kan worden. Psychische problemen zijn neurologisch en neurologische psychisch. Eric Kandels levenswerk is erop gericht psychiatrie en neurobiologie bij elkaar te brengen. Hij begon als psychoanalyticus, maar raakte steeds meer geboeid door de biologische basis van psychische problemen. Zijn studie naar wat er mis kan gaan in het brein geeft ook inzicht in wat er goed gaat in het gezonde brein. Zijn wereldberoemde onderzoek naar herinnering, leren en gedrag is sterk verwant aan dat van Dick Swaab. De gestoorde geest vat al zijn bevindingen helder samen; het is de kroon op zijn levenslange onderzoek en is een van de invloedrijkste boeken over het brein ooit.

Abstract

Are art and science separated by an unbridgeable divide? Can they find common ground? In this new book, neuroscientist Eric R. Kandel, whose remarkable scientific career and deep interest in art give him a unique perspective, demonstrates how science can inform the way we experience a work of art and seek to understand its meaning. Kandel illustrates how reductionism—the distillation of larger scientific or aesthetic concepts into smaller, more tractable components—has been used by scientists and artists alike to pursue their respective truths. He draws on his Nobel Prize-winning work revealing the neurobiological underpinnings of learning and memory in sea slugs to shed light on the complex workings of the mental processes of higher animals. In Reductionism in Art and Brain Science, Kandel shows how this radically reductionist approach, applied to the most complex puzzle of our time—the brain—has been employed by modern artists who distill their subjective world into color, form, and light. Kandel demonstrates through bottom-up sensory and top-down cognitive functions how science can explore the complexities of human perception and help us to perceive, appreciate, and understand great works of art. At the heart of the book is an elegant elucidation of the contribution of reductionism to the evolution of modern art and its role in a monumental shift in artistic perspective. Reductionism steered the transition from figurative art to the first explorations of abstract art reflected in the works of Turner, Monet, Kandinsky, Schoenberg, and Mondrian. Kandel explains how, in the postwar era, Pollock, de Kooning, Rothko, Louis, Turrell, and Flavin used a reductionist approach to arrive at their abstract expressionism and how Katz, Warhol, Close, and Sandback built upon the advances of the New York School to reimagine figurative and minimal art. Featuring captivating drawings of the brain alongside full-color reproductions of modern art masterpieces, this book draws out the common concerns of science and art and how they illuminate each other.

Abstract

"Combining insights from both cognitive neuroscience and molecular biology, Memory presents the basics of memory--from molecules and cells to brain systems and cognition. What is memory and where in the brain is it stored? How is memory storage accomplished? This book touches on these questions and more"--Provided by publisher.
