商品簡介
He changed how we understand the brain, and he forced the scientific world to confront its own biases.
For decades, the brain's non-neuronal cells-glia-were dismissed as inert "nerve glue." Doctor Ben Barres (1954-2017) spent his life proving they were, in fact, the dynamic architects of neural circuits and the primary drivers of devastating neurodegenerative diseases like ALS and multiple sclerosis, leading the definitive "glial revolution."
Yet, Barres's greatest scientific contribution came from his own personal journey. After undergoing a gender transition in 1997, he observed firsthand the stark contrast in how his work was valued, transforming him into a fierce, data-driven advocate against systemic prejudice. He used his life as an irrefutable "controlled experiment" to expose the myth of meritocracy in academia, fighting relentlessly for women and marginalized scientists.
The Glial Revolutionary is the integrated story of intellectual courage and personal truth. It is a powerful testament to the idea that great science demands both uncompromising rigor in the lab and unflinching honesty in the world, urging us to build a future of science as open and complex as the nervous system Barres redefined.
