Description
The brain: what everyone needs to know. A simple question about the purpose of the brain has taken millennia for us to begin to understand. Yet, critical for our everyday existence, the brain remains somewhat of a mystery. Gary L. Wenk explores what we do know about this enigmatic organ, revealing how its workings produce our thoughts, feelings, and fears. From human evolution to diet's impact on cognition, Wenk answers questions about the nature of emotions, memories, and ageing brains. He also examines why misguided interpretations of scientific facts have led to non-scientific interventions that are often a waste of time and money. With clarity, humour, and simplicity, this book makes complex brain biology accessible to all.
