Multiple Sclerosis. Parkinson’s Disease. Alzheimer’s. ALS. Chances are that you know someone with a neurologic disease. Because the brain controls so much and is integral to our identity, the diseases that affect it are uniquely devastating both to patients and families. And because it remains the most mysterious of our vital organs, treating the brain is an ongoing puzzle. In The Brain Under Siege, Howard Weiner likens the brain to a crime scene, showing listeners how “clues” point to causes and suggest paths to a cure. He takes listeners on a journey through the latest technological advances, exploring which routes of investigation have gone cold and which have led to breakthroughs. Informative and engaging, this groundbreaking book tells the story behind the science—painting a picture of the discoveries, setbacks, false leads, and victories on the front lines of brain research. Weiner also offers unique insight by exploring the experiences of the brave patients and families who make cutting-edge clinical trials possible. Both a clear-eyed assessment of where the science stands and a gripping and poignant narrative of the dramatic pursuit for a cure, The Brain Under Siege is a must-listen for patients, families, and anyone interested in unraveling the mysteries of the brain.
