Il libro narra la storia e le scoperte di quattro importanti scienziati: Costantino Von Economo, Wilder Penfield, Brenda e Peter Milner, ovvero i fondatori delle neuroscienze. I cambiamenti che le teorie di questi scienziati hanno apportato alla scienza vengono presentati anche alla luce dei recenti premi Nobel e allo sviluppo delle nuove tecnologie applicate alla medicina. Infine il libro prova a immaginare il futuro della Scatola Magica guardando dentro il cervello frattale e l'intelligenza artificiale. [Abstract translated by Google Translate: This is the abstract in English… The book tells the story and the discoveries of four important scientists: Costantino Von Economo, Wilder Penfield, Brenda and Peter Milner, the founders of neuroscience. The changes that the theories of these scientists have brought to science are also presented in the light of the recent Nobel Prizes and the development of new technologies applied to medicine. Finally, the book tries to imagine the future of the "Magic Box" by looking inside the fractal brain and artificial intelligence.]
