THE EVERYTHING GUIDE TO THE HUMAN BRAIN

Can a bump to the head really restore memories? Does your brain ever lie to you? Why do you always forget where your glasses are, but never how to read? Written in plain English, this accessible book gives both beginners and more experienced readers an easy-to-follow introduction with no hint of "dumbing down" information. Topics include how the brain communicates with each part of the body, how it affects our emotional life, why we dream, how we remember things, brain disorders, and enduring myths about the brain (e.g., subliminal persuasion and repressed memories).
