"A History of the Human Brain: From the Sea Sponge to CRISPR, How Our Brain Evolved"

Aired on Monday, April 5th.

Our guest on ST Medical Monday is Bret Stetka, an editorial director at Medscape.com, which is the professional division of WebMD.com. A non-practicing physician and active freelance health/science journalist, Stetka joins us to discuss his fascinating new book, "A History of the Human Brain: From the Sea Sponge to CRISPR, How Our Brain Evolved." It's a readable and engaging history of how our most mysterious organ developed over time...from the brain's improbable and watery beginnings to the super-complex marvel that's found within the head of Homo sapiens today. As was noted of this work by Psychology Today: "Crack open this book and take a read. You will be transported, illuminated, and delighted."
