Inhaltsangabe

Brainscapes illuminates the structure and components of the brain; how it operates consciously and unconsciously; how brain cells communicate with one another and with other parts of the body; the astonishing progress being made in pharmacology to control neurotransmitters and thus modify personality, behavior, and emotion; the genetic underpinnings of many neurological disorders; how technology is providing revolutionary new ways to study parts of the brain; how environmental toxins may be responsible for a number of neurological diseases; and how our new understanding of the brain will affect our perceptions of everything from personality to notions of morality.
Brainscapes is an ideal introduction for the lay reader to the source of all that makes us human.
