The Secret Life of the Brain

"Throughout human history, poets, philosophers, and scientists have lauded the formidable power of the human brain. The sensible companion to every aching heart, the very seat of human intelligence, the brain has successfully hoarded its most precious secrets for millennia. But years of intensive research and a host of new technologies have yielded stunning insights into how the brain develops and functions. As we continue to add to our knowledge, we remain in awe of the brain's enormous potential, while never losing sight of its frailties." "The Secret Life of the Brain is a comprehensive exploration of recent discoveries and their impact on human development. Photographs and original illustrations combine with a narrative to bring this science to life."--BOOK JACKET.
