In Search of Memory relates the astonishing story of how four different and distinct disciplines—behaviorist psychology, cognitive psychology, neuroscience, and molecular biology—converged into a powerful new science of mind. Through its profound insights into thought, perception, action, recollection, and mental illness, this new science is revolutionizing our understanding of learning and memory while simultaneously showing great promise for more effective healing. The narrative follows Eric R. Kandel through the last five decades, focusing on Vienna, where he became fascinated with memory. With intrepid scientific ardor, Kandel was captivated first by history and psychoanalysis, then by neurobiology, and finally by the biological processes of memory. His resulting, multifaceted perspective was the foundation for his path-breaking research that will continue to dominate modern thought—not only in science but in culture at large. 50 illustrations. 埃里克·坎德爾（Eric R.Kandel）1929年出生於奧地利的維也納，1956年畢業於美國紐約大學，獲醫學博士學位。1983年至今任哥倫比亞大學生物化學與分子生物物理學系教授、霍華休斯醫學研究中心高級研究員。2000年獲諾貝爾生理學或醫學獎。
