HOW THE BRAIN WORKS - DK GEBUNDEN

Are men's and women's brains really different? Why are teenagers impulsive and rebellious? And
will it soon be possible to link our brains together via the Cloud? Drawing on the latest
neuroscience research  this visual guide makes the hidden workings of the human brain simple to
understand. How the Brain Works begins with an introduction to the brain's anatomy  showing you
how to tell your motor cortex from your mirror neurons. Moving on to function  it explains how
the brain works constantly and unnoticed to regulate heartbeat and breathing  and how it
collects information to produce the experiences of sight  sound  smell  taste  and touch. The
chapters that follow cover memory and learning  consciousness and personality  and emotions and
communication. There's also a guide to the brain's disorders  including physical problems  such
as tumours and strokes  and psychological and functional disorders  ranging from autism to
schizophrenia. Illustrated with bold graphics and step-by-step artworks  and peppered with
bite-sized factoids and question-and-answer features  this is the perfect introduction to the
fascinating world of the human brain.
