'One of the clearest and best-illustrated attempts to explain the
virtually inaccessible, the brain' SUNDAY TIMES Brain scans reveal
our thoughts, memories - even our moods - as clearly as an X-ray
reveals our bones. We can watch a person's brain literally light up
as it registers a joke, or glow dully when it recalls an unhappy
memory. MAPPING THE MIND shows how these cans can be used to help
explain aspects of our behaviour and how behavioural eccentricities
can be traced to abnormalities in an individual brain. Dyslexia,
for example, may be caused by a short-circuit in the messages
converting sound to visual cues; addiction, eating disorders and
alcoholism stem from dysfunction in the brain's reward system. In
this acclaimed book Rita Carter draws on the latest in brain
imaging to give extraordinary insights into how the brain works.
