Brain Story Unlocking Our Inner World Susan Greenfield

Brain story : unlocking our inner world of emotions, memories, ideas and desires
by Susan Greenfield

Susan Greenfield's book Brain Story is companion to the BBC television series of the same name. It attempts to explain the current state of knowledge in the neurosciences, a discipline that has made stunning advances over the last twenty years. It explores the structure and function of the brain, the myriad ways in which this immensely complex structure can go wrong, and the ingenious methods that research scientists have used to figure out how our signal organ works. Greenfield uses damaged brains, with one everyday function removed, to show how the whole should work. This works to hold our human interest in the stories of those with Alzheimer's, hydrocephalus, brain tumours and other brain function limiting damage, without turning the individuals involved into marginalised freaks.

In this tour through the brain's workings, Susan Greenfield brings the reader right up to date on the latest theories and controversies of neuroscience. From studies of the bizarre and disturbing effects of brain injuries, she tackles the questions that have baffled philosophers since antiquity
