Summarizing 100 important topics in one-page articles plainly written and richly illustrated, this book's chronological order allows students to discover the brain as scientists did, in a gradual and incremental process of discovery.
From Hippocrates and humors to artificial intelligence and the "hard problems" of consciousness, the book reveals how investigations have led gradually, step by step, to ever-increasing knowledge of how the brain manages to control the body, perceive the world, and create emotions, thoughts, and personalities. Includes a functional map of the brain and a spectacular 24-page removable foldout (over eight feet long!) with a timeline on one side and optical illusions on the other.
