I was worried when I ordered it that it wouldn't be detailed enough to give me new information, but I figured it'd be worth a shot. This is clearly written, has some great information with great visuals, and has some really great metaphors that bring the information home. A great study guide that while written with college level detail is presented in a way that anyone that wants to learn would be able to understand. I need to see what else Hana Ros has written. This is such a great and fun way to learn.

I am a neurologist and was interested to see if this book would be an effective teaching aid for my patients. The explanations were good, although the art work was not terrific.

I love books that illuminate the brain and help me understand how brain and mind function. I’ve recently fallen in love with the book Neurocomic by Dr. Hana Ros and Matteo Farinella, beautifully published by Nobrow this year. It combines all the best elements of science, art, humor, story and information.
The book opens with a man who starts to flirt with a woman then finds himself sucked into her brain. His quest is to get back out so he can continue to pursue her. He has no idea where he is and wanders through a neuron forest until he runs into Santiago Roman y Cajal, a “Spanish neuroscientist and Nobel Laureate (1852-1934)…considered as the father of neuroscience, although he always had a great passion for drawing.”
Thus begins our hero’s journey through neuron forests, memory caves, and castles of deception. Along the way, he runs into pioneers of neuroscience who seem to delight into sending him into even more mysterious places. It amused me to think of neuroscientists spending eternity studying inside a living brain. Is that heaven for them? The scientists are only the beginning of the zaniness. There’s a giant squid seeking revenge for experiments on its giant axons. There’s an aplysia snail playing banjo. We run into Pavlov and his dog.
It’s an altogether engrossing and entertaining way to learn about the brain. We often see science as stuffy and serious, but this book injects so much playfulness and humor into neuroscience, that it’s an irresistible way to learn. The drawings are lively and expressive. I love the playful way brain functions are characterized.
Dr. Hana Ros is neuroscientist with a PhD from Oxford University. Matteo Farinella is an illustrator specializing in graphic journalism and scientific illustration.Read more ›
