Siete lecciones y media sobre el cerebro

In seven short essays (plus a short history of how brains evolved), this lean, entertaining, and accessible collection reveals mind-expanding lessons from the front lines of neuroscience research. We will learn where brains come from, how they are structured (and why it matters), and how ours works in conjunction with other brains to create everything you experience. Along the way, we will also learn to discard popular myths such as the idea that there is a 'lizard brain' or the supposed battle between thoughts and emotions, or even between nature and nurture, to determine their behavior. Will appeal and interest both casual readers and veteran scientists, Seven and a Half Lessons on the Brain is full of surprises, humor, and important implications for human nature - a gift book you'll want to savor again and again.
