In A Molecule Away from Madness: Tales of the Hijacked Brain, author, and neurologist Sara Manning Peskin examines extraordinary stories of the brain under siege.

Sara Manning Peskin is an assistant professor of clinical neurology at the University of Pennsylvania. Her writing has appeared in the New York Times, Boston Globe Magazine, and the Philadelphia Inquirer.

Join us, when Peskin covers the four main groups of molecules she reports have the power to sabotage our brains; and labels them as “mutants”, “rebels”, “evaders”, and “invaders” on this installment of Leonard Lopate at Large.
