Features: The content of this book is a semi-autobiographical narrative, describing how the protagonist, Tanzi, abandoned his beloved music career to pursue neuroscience research. During his doctoral studies, although he made many significant discoveries published in top-tier journals, he was delayed in graduating because he could not align with the original direction of his dissertation. Later, he led his own laboratory and persisted in researching Alzheimer's disease, which truly inspires and motivates young people. The book cites many specialized terms from genetics, biochemistry, and molecular biology, such as nucleic acids, proteins, oligonucleotides, and Southern blotting. Beginners may need to spend some effort to understand these terms, but it is believed that these terms will gradually become general knowledge for humans in the "post-genomic era." For students interested in pursuing neuroscience research, the book also provides clear guidance on how to find genes and how to use rapid screening and automated analysis to identify effective drugs for treatment or prevention.
