The brain is the most complex structure in the universe. Accompany one of the UK's top neurologists as she tries to puzzle out some of the most eye-opening symptoms medicine has to offer
Dr Suzanne O'Sullivan has been a consultant in neurology since 2004, first working at The Royal London Hospital and now as a consultant in clinical neurophysiology and neurology at The National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery, and for a specialist unit based at the Epilepsy Society. She specialises in the investigation of complex epilepsy and also has an active interest in psychogenic disorders. Suzanne's book about psychosomatic illness, It's All in Your Head, won both the Wellcome Book Prize and the Royal Society of Biology Book Prize.
Powerfully life-affirming... Brainstorm is testament to
O'Sullivan's unshowy clarity of thought and her continued
marvelling at the mysteries of the brain
*Guardian*
A fascinating attempt to draw the lay reader into understanding
more about the function and malfunction of the brain by using
real-life stories... O'Sullivan is a good, clear writer, lacks
pomposity and avoids cliché -- her first book, It's All in Your
Head, won the Wellcome Prize
*The Times*
O'Sullivan writes beautifully and is full of wonder... a
pleasure
*Mail on Sunday*
A tremendously interesting work of medical humanity... The main
effect of this fascinating collection of clinical stories, by the
end, is to make any reader without brain dysfunction exceedingly
grateful for the fragile miracle going in inside their own skull
every second
*Daily Telegraph*
I loved it. She is in my view the best science writer around - a
true descendant of Oliver Sacks
*Sathnam Sanghera, author of The Boy with the Topknot*
