Today a brain scan reveals our thoughts and moods as clearly as an
X-ray reveals our bones. We can actually observe a person's brain
registering a joke or experiencing a painful memory. In "Mapping
the Mind", award-winning journalist Rita Carter draws on the latest
imaging technology and science to chart how human behavior and
personality reflect the biological mechanisms behind thought and
emotion. This acclaimed book, a complete visual guide to the
coconut-sized, wrinkled gray mass we carry around inside our heads,
has now been completely revised and updated throughout. Among many
other topics, Carter explores obsessions and addictions, the
differences between men's and women's brains, and memory. This
title is comprehensively updated for this edition with the latest
research, case studies, and contributions from distinguished
scientists. It addresses recent controversies over behavior
prediction and prevention. It includes new information on mirror
neurons, unconscious cognition, and abnormalities in attention
spans.
