Full Description
A collection of articles on the brain, gathered from the "Science Times" section of "The New York Times". There are chapters on senses, emotions, mood, memory, language, consciousness, dreams, medicine and more. The articles aim to illuminate key discoveries made during the last decade of the 20th century about the physiology, psychology and neurology of this vital organ. How is it that we learn? How does the brain make sense of our world? How do children's brains develop? What goes awry in cases of trauma and mental illness? How does the brain repair itself and compensate? What is the nature of consciousness? These and many other mysteries are explored in the volume.
