Nobel Laureate Professor Gerald Edelman: with ABC presenter Natasha Mitchell in his office at The Neurosciences Institute in San Diego, California. 2010
Nobel laureate Gerald Edelman on consciousness, creativity and 'neural Darwinism'
Nobel laureate Gerald Edelman rarely gives interviews. He won the Nobel Prize in Physiology/Medicine in 1972 for his work on antibodies, but at 81 he's a true Renaissance man of the brain, heading up what he describes as a 'scientific monastry' in San Diego. He joins Natasha Mitchell to talk consciousness, creativity and 'neural Darwinism'.
