Description
When brain circuits break, the consequences can be devastating and bizarre. This book explores the mysteries of brain function and dysfunction, revealing how our thoughts, feelings, and behaviour are affected.
From Parkinson's disease to psychopathy, and depression to Tourette's syndrome, Ian Mitchell takes you on a tour through the sometimes disturbing effects of what happens when brains break down. With real-life examples from neurosurgery, this book brings biological psychology to life.
A no-nonsense introduction to understanding the brain and its many complexities, Broken Brains is an insightful look at the human mind in all its complexity.
