The Brain Book: An Illustrated Guide to its Structure, Functions, and Disorders
这本获奖的科学书籍使用了神经科学研究和大脑成像技术的最新发现，带你进入人类大脑的旅程。
CGI图像和大脑核磁共振扫描以前所未有的细节揭示了大脑的解剖结构。循序渐进的序列解开并简化了大脑功能的复杂过程，比如神经如何传递信号，记忆如何被储存和回忆，以及我们如何记录情绪。这本书回答了关于大脑的基本和引人注目的问题:有意识意味着什么，当我们睡着时发生了什么，男人和女人的大脑不同吗?
由屡获殊荣的作家丽塔·卡特所写，这是一本可接近的和权威的参考书，对人体的一个迷人的部分。由于扫描技术的进步，我们对大脑的理解正在迅速改变。现在在它的第三版，大脑书提供了一个最新的指南，科学最令人兴奋的前沿之一。它涵盖了超过50种与大脑相关的疾病和失调——从中风到脑肿瘤和精神分裂症——它也是学生和医疗专业人员的基本手册。
This award-winning science book uses the latest findings from neuroscience research and brain-imaging technology to take you on a journey into the human brain.
CGI illustrations and brain MRI scans reveal the brain's anatomy in unprecedented detail. Step-by-step sequences unravel and simplify the complex processes of brain function, such as how nerves transmit signals, how memories are laid down and recalled, and how we register emotions. The book answers fundamental and compelling questions about the brain: what does it mean to be conscious, what happens when we're asleep, and are the brains of men and women different?
This is an accessible and authoritative reference book to a fascinating part of the human body. Thanks to improvements in scanning technology, our understanding of the brain is changing quickly. Now in its third edition, The Human Brain Book provides an up-to-date guide to one of science's most exciting frontiers. With its coverage of more than 50 brain-related diseases and disorders--from strokes to brain tumors and schizophrenia--it is also an essential manual for students and healthcare professionals.
