Description
The human brain's development is a remarkable journey that spans billions of years. From the moment of fertilization to birth and beyond, the brain undergoes an intricate process of growth and formation. In "Zero to Birth: How the Human Brain Is Built", pioneering experimental neurobiologist W. A. Harris takes readers on an extraordinary journey through the development of the human brain. The book explores how the brain's incredible feat of orchestrated growth ensures that every brain is unique, and how breakthroughs at the frontiers of science are helping us to decode many traits that only reveal themselves later in life. Harris also delves into a remarkable evolutionary story that begins billions of years ago, revealing how the growth of a fetal brain over nine months reflects the brain's evolution through the ages. By examining the development of the human brain, Harris sheds light on what makes it uniquely human and how comparative animal studies have been crucial to understanding this complex process.
