About the book

Rita Carter combines recent neuroscience findings with brain imaging and detailed illustrations to cover the anatomy, function and disorders of the brain. The book explains how people think and feel, how the brain signals the rest of the body, how unconscious actions such as breathing are controlled, how sight, hearing and dreaming work, and what lies behind genius. Physical and psychological disorders of the brain and nervous system are summarized in plain terms. A newer edition adds material on infant brains, telepathy and brain modification and has a 22-page MRI atlas. The book's interactive DVD includes a zoomable model of the brain and animations of processes such as the path of a nerve impulse.
