Biografía y Trayectoria del Autor
Antonio Damasio is a Portuguese-born neurologist and neuroscientist whose career has unfolded at the intersection of medicine, psychology, philosophy, and public writing. He earned his M.D. from the University of Lisbon Medical School in 1969 and his Ph.D. from the University of Lisbon in 1974, began his early professional life in Lisbon, and moved to the University of Iowa in 1975, where he later became head of neurology. A decisive early turning point came during medical training, when he and Hanna Damasio encountered the work of Warren McCulloch and Norman Geschwind and committed themselves to studying the mind through patients, lesions, and brain anatomy rather than through abstract speculation alone.
