Quotes by Guy Leschziner  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“[...] the absence of sensation can be devastating. But an absence of pain – the loudest of our sensations – sounds like a blessing, not a curse. Pain screams its way into our consciousness, blotting out everything else. The blinding sear of stubbing one’s toe, cracking one’s head, or cutting your finger, elbows all other sensations and senses out of the way, demanding immediate attention and action.”
Guy Leschziner, Man Who Tasted Words

“In fact, a widely used drug in nightmares associated with PTSD, prazosin, acts mainly as a blocker of noradrenaline in the brain. Although a recent study suggests prazosin is no more effective than a placebo, I and my colleagues have seen several patients successfully treated with this drug.”
Guy Leschziner, The Nocturnal Brain: Nightmares, Neuroscience, and the Secret World of Sleep

“Damage to the frontal lobes, whether through tumour, types of dementia or tamping iron, is known to cause personality change, and suggests that the frontal lobes have a fundamental role in our social behaviour and planning.”
Guy Leschziner, The Nocturnal Brain: Nightmares, Neuroscience, and the Secret World of Sleep
