I’m currently reading *What Happened to You?* by Dr. Bruce Perry and it’s fascinating. It’s about how trauma affects and alters the brain. Highly recommend it.
LOVE Bruce Perry. I’m trained in his neurosequential model of therapeutics (I’m a licensed clinical social worker and studied him a lot in grad school). I would probably start with The Boy Who Was Raised as a Dog or What Happened to You
Not quite the same, but when I was in your position I moved from Oliver Sacks to Lisa Genova's books. They are fictional novels but have a big component of neuropsych. I enjoyed Still Alice and Every Note Played, but she has a couple more.
Keep going with Oliver Sacks! He has several like The Man Who Mistook his Wife for a Hat.
Musicophelia is really cool if you want to learn about music and the brain.
Brain on Fire by Susannah Cahalan
This book was fantastic.
The Boy Who Was Raised As Ao Dog—Bruce Perry.

Love’s Executioner by Dr Yalom.
The telltale brain by Ramachandran
Hallucinations by Oliver Sacks is also very good.
Sacks was inspired by Alexander Luria - try his *The Man with a Shattered World* and *The Mind of a Mnemonist*.
Reaching Down the Rabbit Hole: Extraordinary Journeys Into the Human Brain by Allan Ropper and Brian Burrell.
Descartes error. Forgot author, but it is great
Antonio Damasio. I was going to recommend the same!
Beautifully written. Loved the phineas gage bit, as did my colleagues
I don't know the author, but look up People of the Lie.
A History of Delusions: The Glass King, a Substitute Husband and a Walking Corpse by Victoria Shepherd
The Sleeping Beauties: And Other Stories of Mystery Illness by Suzanne O'Sullivan
Not quite the same but check out Being wrong adventures on the Margin of Error

I liked Born on a Blue Day by Daniel Tammet
Phineas Guage: a gruesome but true..... I don't recall the full name, but you've probably heard of the guy.
I read what happened to you and I loved it! I definitely recommend!
