Description

Christian Jarrett explores the world of neuroscience by examining popular myths about the human brain. He delves into commonly-held myths such as "Do we only use 10% of our brain?", "Pregnant women lose their mind", and "Right-brained people are more creative", and separates fact from fiction using scientific research and evidence.

Great Myths of the Brain also looks at myths relating to specific brain disorders, including epilepsy, autism, and dementia. Written in an engaging and accessible style, the book provides a unique introduction to the study of the brain and teaches readers how to spot neuro hype and neuro-nonsense claims in the media.

Perfect for students and lay readers alike, this book offers a fresh perspective on the human brain and its many mysteries.
