About this listen

Uncover the mind-blowing complexities of the brain and how it affects our personalities, behaviours and more.

Written by professor of cognitive neuroscience at UCL Sophie Scott and composed of 10 mind-blowing yet accessible essays, The Brain guides you through the astounding complexities of the organ that makes you, you. From diving into the networks of neurons that are vital to our functioning, to the way our brains differ from one another and how neuroscience is shaping up for the future, this book is a guide to our most powerful and awe-inspiring body part.

If you have ever wondered what's going on inside your head (or someone else's), this book will be a fascinating and enthralling story.
