Of the brain, life and miracles

How does the brain of a healthy child develop and how does the brain of children with epilepsy, ADHD or autism spectrum disorders develop? Why do some people have differently developed brains and predispositions to violent behaviour? And what can be done about it? Child neurologist Vladimír Komárek's interest goes far beyond clinical practice - he deals with questions of ethics, learning, education and the nature of consciousness and free will. Set in the colourful life story of a physician, the book's interview traces the wonders of modern medicine, including the latest advances in gene therapy.
