by Christine Castigliano, HeartsQuest.com   This engaging family project answers some of life’s most probing questions, such as: Why can’t you tickle yourself? How do we come to trust others? Are two heads really better than one? Uta & Chris Frith, a renowned wife-and-husband team of cognitive neuroscientists, pioneered major studies of brain disorders over their fifty-year careers. Created with their son, author Alex Frith and artist Daniel Locke, Two Heads: A Graphic Exploration of How Our Brains Work with Other Brains, models one of their proudest discoveries: the power of collaboration among people who think differently. The illustrations demystify… Read More

The Brain: The Ultimate Thinking Machine

Guest Review by Faye Albert The Brain: The Ultimate Thinking Machine by writer Tory Woollcott and illustrated by Alex Graudins is a compendium of information about the brain and nervous system. This information is reported by a scientist embedded in the story of two sisters engaged in a project to earn an achievement patch. The artwork is quite good.  The characters making up the storyline are comic-book type characters, except for one of the villains, Dr. Cerebrum who looks like a brain inside a bow-tied glass-jar headed body. The illustrations of the brain, neurons, cells and nerves are particularly impressive… Read More

guest review and response illustration by Northwestern medical student Ivy Huang Reading Neurocomic is like embarking on a fantastical adventure akin to that of Alice in Wonderland or The Phantom Tollbooth but somehow finding yourself armed with scientific knowledge in the end. In Neurocomic, Drs. Matteo Farinella and Hana Ros chronicle the journey of a man who inexplicably finds himself lost in a brain, desperately seeking for an exit. Throughout the man’s travels, he encounters friends, foes, and even pioneering neuroscientists who teach him about their momentous and often Nobel Prize-winning contributions to the dynamic field of neuroscience. In addition… Read More

    guest review by  KuangHua Guo, MD/PhD candidate, Northwestern University, Chicago Neurocomic by Matteo Farinella and Hana Ros plays out like a tug-of-war between storytelling and a neuroscience lecture. Farinella and Ros chose to cover far too much ground in the realm of neuroscience and left themselves with not enough panels to explain the science or to tell a story. Here are the points they won: Explaining the brain through the history of neuroscience research: Taking the reader through the seminal discoveries that clarified the structure and function of the brain is a good way to help the reader… Read More
