Within months, her frontal lobe, the seat of cognition, began shutting down. She descended into madness, exhibiting dementia-and schizophrenia-like symptoms that terrified her family and coworkers. But miraculously, just as her doctors figured out what was happening, the immunotherapy they had prescribed began to work. Just eight weeks after her nightmare began, Lipska returned to normal. With one difference: she remembered her brush with madness with exquisite clarity. In The Neuroscientist Who Lost Her Mind, Lipska describes her extraordinary ordeal and its lessons about the mind and brain. She explains how mental illness, brain injury, and age can change our behavior, personality, cognition, and memory. She tells what it is like to experience these changes firsthand. And she reveals what parts of us remain, even when so much else is gone. 600 10 $a Lipska, Barbara K. $x Health. 650 0 $a Melanoma $x Patients $v Biography. 650 0 $a Brain metastasis $x Patients $v Biography. 650 0 $a Neuroscientists $v Biography. 650 7 $a Health $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00952743 650 7 $a Melanoma $x Patients $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01015692 650 7 $a Neuroscientists $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01036525 650 7 $a BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / General $2 bisacsh 650 0 $a Audiobooks $x CD 655 7 $a Audiobooks. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Audiobooks. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726208 655 7 $a Biography $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423686 700 1 $a McArdle, Elaine, $e author. 700 1 $a Powell, Emma, $e narrator. 941 $a 1 945 $a cdab 952 $l PNAX964 $d 20200829014554.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0B494BA451E811E9B71BEAF596128E48 994 $a Z0 $b IX2Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
