| I am a retired science teacher, living near
Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. I did
this research around 1986 using university
and clinical neuropsychology texts to find
why students had such different talents.
I plan to write a book on the topic with
much more useful information about clues
to talents in youth. REFERENCES I used most include: Fundamentals of Human Neuropsychology, Bryan Kolb and Ian Q. Whishaw -- W. H. Freeman, 1980 (A superb analysis and summary of what is known. Excellent detail showing experimental evidence of the roles of different parts of the brain -- A newer and bigger edition is available.)

Netter -- CIBA Pharmaceutical Company, 1983. (Detailed pictures showing the jobs of all parts of the brain and nervous system) Also The Mystery of the Mind, Wilder Penfield -- Princeton University Press, 1975 (Excellent study of the thalamus and consciousness) Physiology of Behavior, Neil R., Carlson -- 2nd Edition, Allyn and Bacon Inc.1981 Mantor & Gantz's Essentials of Clinical Neuroanatomy & Neurophysiology, Sid Gilman & Sarah S., Winans -- F.A.Davis Company, Edition 6, 1983 Motor Development, Anna Espenschade & Helen Eckert -- Charles E.
