Gary R Hein

In this insightful work, Hein challenges the traditional view of the brain as an overly complex organ and presents a theory centered on neuron connectivity, neuroplasticity, and associative memory. From explaining how neurons communicate through electrical and chemical signals to how the brain stores and processes information, Hein provides a clear breakdown of the key mechanisms at play. He also explores extraordinary conditions like savant syndrome and hyperthymesia, offering fresh perspectives on these phenomena.

The book is structured into nine chapters, each focusing on a specific aspect of brain function. Hein delves into the science behind neurons, neurotransmitters, memory, neural networks, and the mind, while questioning long-standing beliefs about the brain's operations. In the final chapters, he addresses controversial topics such as genetic memory and how evolution has shaped emotions, instincts, and intelligence. Hein also offers new theories about the origins of conditions like savant syndrome.
