although dated (some of its conclusions irrelevant), this primer on neuroanatomy and science is the most eloquent introduction to the brain and its growth. Sherrington was a rare weaver of language and science, noting the most basic observations about the brain (that our two eyes share a cyclopean struggle for parallax, that by combining two views we augment light-levels and colors without becoming conscious).
