The Brain Explained

By Christopher M Strange

This is an in-depth examination of the human brain with a survey of its structure, function, evolution, and development, and the history of brain science and inquiry, from the Ancients to modern psychosurgery and neuroimaging. Also discussed are the nature of cognition and consciousness, the mind-body duality, human intelligence and how it is measured. Readers will learn about personality, genetics, normal and abnormal cognitive development and brain function, and the nervous system. This lively and dynamic exploration of the brain and its powerful abilities also supports standards for the reading of scientific accounts and texts.
