Have you ever wondered what the brain does? Distinguished neuroscientist Lisa Feldman will demystify this gray bubble between our ears in seven short chapters (plus a very brief story about how the brain evolved). In these short and easy texts, the author offers us mind-opening lessons, through which we learn how the brain is formed and how our brain works in concert with the rest of the brains of the people around us in order to create everything we live now. By reading this book, we will learn how to refute common myths and fabricated battles between thoughts and feelings, or between nature and upbringing, so that we can define our behavior.
