A short but engaging exploration of the brain. In Brains, scientist
Leif Østergaard explores our most complicated and mysterious
organ. From the dissection of Einstein's brain to research on how
to map networks of neurons, Østergaard deconstructs the different
parts of the brain and provides an engaging overview of its
essential functions. He explains how we store information in the
synapses of neural networks and how these networks carry commands
to our muscles and internal organs and receive sensory input from
our skin, eyes, ears, nose, and mouth. Delving into the
subconscious, we learn what our brains are doing while we daydream
and how neurotransmitters play a role in addiction. In this
fascinating book, Østergaard reveals how this enigmatic organ is
even more complex than we thought it was. In Reflections, a series
copublished with Denmark's Aarhus University Press, scholars
deliver 60-page reflections on key concepts. These books present
unique insights on a wide range of topics that entertain and
enlighten readers with exciting discoveries and new perspectives.
