Arguably one of the most compelling and elusive territories of scientific research is the landscape of the human brain. The reach of neuroscience is vast, extending to nearly every other scientific and philosophical discipline. From research on the neurobiology of depression to recent breakthroughs in humancomputer communication, the implications of neuroscience are immense. Now, "The Scientific American Book of the Brain" presents the most fascinating and often most controversial contributions of world-renowned scientists to our understanding of the brain. Over thirty articles reveal the diverse research currently being conducted by Walter J. Freeman, Kay Redfield Jamison, Joseph E. LeDoux, Dennis J. Selkoe, and many more. Read about how scientists are honing in on the biological "risk factors" some believe may predispose certain minds to criminal behavior. Learn about how new treatments for Alzheimer's disease may be used to boost memory in healthy individuals. Understand the meaning of dreams and eavesdrop on a debate among psychiatrists, philosophers, and scientists on the neurobiology of consciousness. Organized by topics such as disease and mental disorder and reasoning, intelligence, and behavior; and with a section of color photographs and drawings as well as dozens of black-and-white illustrations throughout, "The Scientific American Book of the Brain" is a stimulating, comprehensive look at every aspect of the brain, for consumption by every hungry mind.
