Özet

An examination of what makes us human and unique among all creatures - our brains

No listener curious about our "little gray cells" will want to pass up Harvard neuroscientist John E. Dowling's brief introduction to the brain. In this up-to-date revision of his 1998 book Creating Mind, Dowling conveys the essence and vitality of the field of neuroscience - examining the progress we've made in understanding how brains work, and shedding light on discoveries having to do with aging, mental illness, and brain health.

The first half of the book provides the nuts-and-bolts necessary for an up-to-date understanding of the brain. Covering the general organization of the brain, early chapters explain how cells communicate with one another to enable us to experience the world. The rest of the book touches on higher-level concepts such as vision, perception, language, memory, emotion, and consciousness. This lucid introduction elegantly reveals the beauty of the organ that makes us uniquely human.

very informative, not for any beginner unless you know anatomy of the brain structure.
I'm doing a physcology degree and for a first year student, it's really helpful. how he explains is easy to keep track of what's going on.

not for beginners.... University level 1

If you’re not too daunted by the scientific jargon, this book is wonderfully explained in terms that are easily understood. It does go into great detail of the signals and how they are interpreted in the brain. The book also explains what we currently know about how the human brain is formed and developed. A basic understanding of basic medical terms and of course electricity (as it deals with the electrical impulses in the brain) we’re helpful to me in the understanding of the explanations in the book. I found it very informative and a fascinating listen.

Very technical but simplistically explained.

Great guide to understanding the brain, and I love that it goes into so much detail while keeping it simple.

Fascinating subject but spoilt by narration - far too fast for this type of book. Better to buy the hard copy.

Poor narration

The content is very technical, and by it's nature requires sympathetic narration. His peculiar, grating nasal accent aside, this narrator seems to think he's projecting his voice to the back row of a large auditorium or something, and has the cadence of a 1940 radio newsreader.

I didn't get far with this because of the narrator
