Description
The Brain explores one of the most exciting areas in modern science: the study of the brain. Recent research has shed new light on how the brain relates to what we call the mind, and this knowledge has significant implications for human behavior. Recent advances have been made in understanding the brain's role in shaping our thoughts, feelings, and values. The brain's function is not just a matter of processing information, but also influences our emotions, art, philosophy, and religions. This book brings together contributions from leading researchers in the field, each offering new insights into different aspects of brain science. From the neurobiology of drug action and addiction to the study of movement and sleep, this comprehensive volume covers a wide range of topics that are helping to illuminate the complex workings of the human brain.
