Nova: After extensive research, I need to be upfront with you:

Nova: Here's what I found: - — his most influential and widely cited book - -

Nova: These were written by entirely different authors: - Joe Correa — - John C. Brooke —

Nova: I suspect you may be thinking of Gallistel's landmark book which is his most famous and provocative work. In it, Gallistel argues that: - The brain is fundamentally a, not just a neural network - Memory requires — the brain must store facts, numbers, and addresses, much like a computer - The synaptic plasticity model of memory is deeply inadequate; the 'engram' likely lives, not between them - Cognitive science must transform neuroscience, not the other way around

Nova: His work is bold, controversial, and has been rattling neuroscientists for decades. Would you like me to create the podcast script about by Randy Gallistel instead? Or would you prefer a script about one of the actual books by Correa or Brooke? Let me know and I'll get right to it.
