Description
Explore the human brain and find out what we really know about the way it controls everything we think and do.
This new edition of the award-winning The Brain Book uses the latest findings from neuroscience research and brain-imaging technology to take you on a journey into the human brain.
CGI artworks and MRI scans reveal the brain's anatomy in unprecedented detail. Step-by-step sequences unravel and simplify complex processes, such as how nerves transmit signals and how memories are laid down and recalled. The book answers fundamental and compelling questions about the brain, such as what it means to be conscious and what happens in the brain when we're asleep.
Written by award-winning author Rita Carter, this is an accessible reference book to a fascinating part of the human body. Thanks to improvements in scanning technology, our understanding of the brain is changing fast. Now in its fourth edition, The Brain Book draws on the latest information to provide a fascinating guide to one of science's most exciting frontiers.
