A fascinating look at what's rattling around in your skull. Neuroscience For Dummies introduces you to the mind-boggling study of the human brain. It tracks to the content of a typical introductory neuroscience class at the college level - and it's perfect for anyone curious about what makes us tick. New technologies and an explosion of research have completely transformed our understanding of memory, depression, the mind-body connection, learning, and genetics. This updated edition - still in classic, beginner-friendly Dummies style - covers the latest research advances and technologies in the field of neuroscience. Put some knowledge about the brain into your brain. The central mystery about the brain is simply this: How can a bunch of interconnected cells make each of us what we are — not only our thoughts, memories, and feelings, but our identity. At present, no one can answer this question. Some philosophers think it is not answerable in principle. I believe we can understand how the brain makes us what we are. This book, while surely not containing the complete answer, points the way to what the answer looks like: In short, the brain is made of neurons, each of which is a complex little computer. Parts of the nervous system make suggestions to the rest of it about what you should do next.
