''The Tell-Tale Brain: A Neuroscientist's Quest for What Makes Us Human'' is a 2010 nonfiction book by V. S. Ramachandran that explores, from a neurological viewpoint, the uniqueness of human nature. Ramachandran explores various aspects of visual perception and cognition to argue that humans are unique among species. For example, he notes that although animals show cortical remapping after the loss of a limb, the plasticity seen in the human brain (after amputation) is much more dramatic.〔Brugger, Peter, Book Review, Cognitive Neuropsychiatry, Vol. 17,Issue 4, 2012〕 Ramachandran discusses seven main concepts which define the human aspect of self and how each may be disrupted by a specific neurological disorder. The concepts are: unity, continuity, embodiment, privacy, social embedding, free-will, and self-awareness. ==Reception== ''Tell-Tale Brain'' was on the New York Times best-seller list (Number 32 on the Hardcover Nonfiction list)〔(New York Times Best Sellars, February 20, 2011 )〕 and received both positive and critical reviews. The book won the 2010 Vodafone Crossword Book Award (Non-Fiction).〔("Vodafone Crossword book awards 2010 announced" ), IBN Live, Sep 03〕
