An study of what makes all of us human and exclusive among all creatures-our brains

No listener curious about our ‘little gray cells’ would want to pass up Harvard neuroscientist John E. Dowling’s short introduction to the brain. With this up-to-date revision of his 1998 book Creating Brain, Dowling conveys the substance and vitality from the field of neuroscience-examining the improvement we’ve manufactured in understanding how brains function, and losing light on discoveries having to do with aging, mental disease, and brain wellness. The 1st half from the publication supplies the nuts-and-bolts necessary for an up-to-date knowledge of the mind. Within the general business of the brain, early chapters describe how cells communicate with one another to allow us to experience the world. The rest of the publication details on higher-level concepts such as vision, perception, language, memory, emotion, and consciousness. Lucidly created, this introduction elegantly reveals the wonder of the organ which makes us uniquely human.
