About the Book

"Why Fly Over the Cuckoo's Nest?" Psychosurgery in My Brain please! This riveting science fiction thriller brings love, loyalty, friendship, perseverance, sports, and fame to disclose the depth of human knowledge of brain function. The ethical dilemma of surgical modification of the human brain is discussed taking advantage of the racial diverse environment of Southern California, enlightening our understanding of the complexity of addiction, anger and human aggression. Strong love unites these bright and promising high school sweet hearts. Jill is a petit Asian brain surgeon training in a major medical center. Charles is a nationally recognized volatile Latino athlete. His volatility, while an asset for his aggressiveness as a center forward in soccer, mines his love and social life. Amidst the challenging and grueling workload required from a brain surgeon in training, Jill faces the progressive demise of her admiration and love for Charles, who may end up with criminal charges. Jill's dedication to family and medicine allied to her deep respect to animal and human subjects in research lead her path. Her scientific discoveries while working with the functional intricacies of the non-human primate brain in drug addiction and natural aggressive behavior may bring light to her desperation. She depends, however, on Charles, also a mathematic and engineer wiz, to complete the bioengineering portion of the therapy that can rescue him from captivity. Stakes increase when Jill's baby has a febrile seizure fit. He went on to grow as a smart and talented 8 year-old who knocks unconscious his schoolmate in a violence attack. Charged again with love, Jill has to use all her assets, charm, intelligence, and endurance in a male dominated environment to fight outdated societal rules and regulations interposing between her, mentors, doctors and scientists trying to unveil the function of the brain in the state of addiction, anger and depression. Her chance to save her family is the development of an effective therapy for a psychiatric illness handicapping her husband and son, also impacting in the life of countless humans. The author, Antonio DeSalles, is a Neurosurgeon living in Southern California.
