The Tell-Tale Brain: A Neuroscientist's Quest for What Makes Us Human by V.S. Ramachandran

I had the privilege of taking Dr. Ramachandran’s psych course (Brain Damage and Mental Functions) at UCSD. This is an incredible and fascinating book to gain a better understanding of neurological phenomena! 

I especially loved Chapter 1 (Phantom Limbs and Plastic Brains), Chapter 3 (Loud Colors and Hot Babes: Synesthesia), and Chapter 6 (The Power of Babble: The Evolution of Language).
