Matthew W. Schelke is a general neurologist at Columbia University Irving Medical Center and the Neurological Institute of New York, where he sees patients with a wide range of neurological illnesses. He has published articles on the connections between neurology, neuroscience, and social and cultural life.
This book reveals the critical importance of our cultural environment and shows how the social embedding of our actions determines how we respond when we suffer neurological illness. Schelke explains a longstanding puzzle: why the same brain lesion has different effects in different people. -- Uta Frith, coauthor of <i>What Makes Us Social?</i> Socially Wired reimagines neurological processes as deeply cultural experiences, blending science and imagination to reveal how our understanding of the brain is shaped by the societies we live in—and how culture itself can transform the way we think about our minds. -- Daniel Yon, Birkbeck, University of London
