Dr. Thomas R. Verny guides us through the mysteries of physiology, neuroscience, genetics, and quantum physics to show that body cells -and not just neurons- store memory, influence the genetic code, and adapt to life. environmental changes, all of which contribute to mind and consciousness. From this principle, we can understand, for example, why people who have lost a large part of their brain can continue to function in the world normally; how our decisions can change our genes and those of our descendants; the extent to which organ transplants can influence not only recipients' bodies, but also their minds, among many other exciting findings. Body memory helps us understand who we are in relation to ourselves, our loved ones, and the universe while encouraging us to take responsibility for our own actions.
