Brain Science under the Swastika: Ethical Violations, Resistance, and Victimization of Neuroscientists in Nazi Europe

By Lawrence A. Zeidman.

Brain Science under the Swastika draws connections between neuroscience, patient sterilization and murder, the Holocaust, and neurological experiments and research, so that readers will be able to see the central role of neuroscience under the Nazis in a never-before presented fashion; connections and networks between killers and scientists will be illustrated. It offers the first comprehensive and up-to-date summary of unethical brain research conducted during and after the Nazi era in Germany and Austria. This book can serve as a consolidated reference and summary of the neuroscientific research from the Nazi era, and recent critical works regarding neuroscience in that period.

Lawrence A. Zeidman is Associate Professor of Neurology and Bioethics at the Loyola University Medical Center.
