György Buzsáki MD  PhD: The Brain from Inside Out (Hardcover, 2019, Oxford University Press)

First post from new instance. It seems that earlier book comments and reviews did not survive the migration process.

Nothing is permanent.

About 2/3 through this book. Pretty dense with neuroscience despite the attempt at plain language. The whole premise of the book is to upend the conventional (outside in) approach to studying the brain, which is to observe a behavior and investigate the neural mechanism underlying it. Buzsaki argues we should be looking at neural relationships first (outside in) and seeing what behaviors emerge.
