Paperback. Zustand: Good. 320 pages. cover worn In this ?riveting read, meshing memoir with scientific explication? (Natu re), a world-renowned neuroscientist reveals how he learned to communicate with patients in vegetative or ?gray zone? states and, more importantly, he expla ins what those interactions tell us about the worki…ng of our own brains.? ??Vivid, emotional, and thought-provoking? (Publishers Weekly), Into the Gray Zone takes readers to the edge of a dazzling, humbling frontier in our understan ding of the brain: the so-called ?gray zone? between full consciousness and brain death. People in this middle place have sustained traumatic brain injuries or are the victims of stroke or degenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer?s an d Parkinson?s. Many are oblivious to the outside world, and their doctors beli eve they are incapable of thought. But a sizeable number?as many as twenty per cent?are experiencing something different: intact minds adrift deep within dam aged brains and bodies. An expert in the field, Adrian Owen led a team that, in 2006, discovered this lost population and made medical history. Scientists, phys icians, and philosophers have only just begun to grapple with the implications.Following Owen?s journey of exciting medical discovery, Into the Gray Zo ne asks some tough and terrifying questions, such as: What is life like for thes e patients? What can their families and friends do to help them? What are the et hical implications for religious organizations, politicians, the Right to Die mo vement, and even insurers? And perhaps most intriguing of all: in defining what a life worth living is, are we too concerned with the physical and not giving en ough emphasis to the power of thought? What, truly, defines a satisfying life?</.
