    “Book Descriptions: The human brain is an impossibly complex and delicate instrument—capable of extraordinary calculations, boundless creativity, and astonishing linguistic dexterity. But beyond its brilliance lies something even more compelling: its sheer strangeness.

    This book reveals a whole other side of how our brains work—from the patient who fears slipping down the drain while taking a shower, to the man who is utterly convinced he is a cat.

    As captivating as these cases are, they are more than just oddities. In seeking to understand them, neuroscientists have unearthed crucial insights into the brain's inner workings. In this entertaining yet deeply informative read, neuroscientist Dr. Marc Dingman delves into what these peculiar human behaviors and rare disorders have taught us about the brain. Bizarre is perfect for readers eager to uncover the secrets of the mind and those looking for extraordinary stories to share at their next dinner party.”
