By Susan Greenfield

Celebrated researcher and lecturer Susan A. Greenfield provides an up-close and personal view of the human brain -- what it is, how it works, what happens when one part of it becomes dysfunctional, how mood-modifying drugs find their targets, and even how the brain develops from the moment of conception. Throughout, the author poses larger questions all readers would want to consider: At what stage does individuality creep into the developing brain? How does the collection of circuits of neurons give rise not just to an individual brain but an individual consciousness? The answers make The Human Brain an enlightening and diverting read.
