Within the following pages, leading neuroscientists and science writers will take you on a tour of 50 of the most exciting ideas in modern brain science, using simple plain English. To start with, in Building the Brain we will learn about the basic components and design of the brain, and trace its history from birth (and before), and through evolution. Brain Theories will introduce some of the most promising ideas about how the brain’s many billions of nerve cells (neurons) work together. Mapping the Brain will show how new technologies are enabling us to chart the brain’s intricate structure and activity patterns. Then, in Consciousness, we tackle the still mysterious relationship between the brain and conscious experience – how does the buzzing of neurons transform into the subjective experience of being you, here, now, reading these words? In the following chapters, Perception & Action and Cognition & Emotion, we will explore how the brain enables these important functions, both with and without consciousness. Finally, in the last chapter – The Changing Brain – we will explore some recent ideas about how the brain changes its structure and function throughout life in both health and in disease.
