Recenzje

This is a long overdue, erudite presentation of the major role of Turin in shaping modern neurosciences, from Rolando to Rita Levi Montalcini. It contributes to a growing critical interest in the interactions between European research centres, while giving original insights into the relationship between scientific institutions and the economical and socio-cultural environment.
