This reissue of the award-winning The Brain Book uses the latest findings from neuroscience research and brain-imaging technology to take you on a journey into the human brain.

CGI artworks and 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 and how memories are laid down and recalled. The book answers fundamental and compelling questions about the brain: what does it mean to be conscious and what happens when we're asleep?

Written by award-winning author Rita Carter, this is an accessible reference book to a fascinating part of the human body. Thanks to improvements in scanning technology, our understanding of the brain is changing fast. Now in its fourth edition, the Brain Book provides an up-to-date guide to one of science's most exciting frontiers.
