Viac o knihe The Brain: A Very Short Introduction (Very Short Introductions) (O´Shea, M.)
How does the brain work? How different is a human brain from other creatures´ brains? Is the human brain still evolving? In this fascinating book, Michael O´Shea provides a non-technical introduction to the main issues and findings in current brain research, and gives a sense of how neuroscience addresses questions about the relationship between the brain and the mind. Chapters tackle subjects such as brain processes, perception, memory, motor control and the causes of ´altered mental states´. A final section discusses possible future developments in neuroscience, touching on artificial intelligence, gene therapy, the importance of the Human Genome Project, drugs by design, and transplants.
