Clinical
Center (Building 10) Medical Board Room (Room 2C116)
THE PROGRAM:
The book “The Genius Within: Discovering the Intelligence of Every
Living Thing” asks us to let go of brain-worship and look at the incredible
problem-solving skills of viruses, ants, and other lowly creatures (noncerebral
intelligence). Dr. Vertosick’s perspective on noncerebral intelligence from his
vantage point as a neurosurgeon allows him to draw comparisons that others might
miss.
