The brain (and mental health) is the most important medical issue of our time.
Just two handfuls in size and made of billions of nerve and ganglial cells, the living brain controls our thoughts, movements, behavior and emotions. It is the seat of our consciousness, yet scientists are still discovering how the living brain actually works.
The Brain Book combines the latest image technology with easy-to-understand authoritative text. Written by an international team of medical experts on brain science, it covers all aspects of brain function, from development and disorders, to the nature of consciousness, through to the aging brain and brain diseases. Topics include brain chemistry, memory, the teenage brain, illusions and hallucinations, music and the brain, sleep and wakefulness, anesthetics, degenerative brain disease and much more.
The book is organized into nine sections:
Structure and Function DevelopmentThe SensesMovement and ActionsThe Social BrainMind, Consciousness, Mood and PsychosisBrain Plasticity, Injury and RepairDrugs and the BrainAging and Disease
The Brain Book is a complete guide to the amazingly complex and intriguing structure that is the human brain. It is an essential reference for any library.

Daughter loves it
My daughter has always been fascinated by the brain. She is a freshman in college so I didn’t know if she would like this book as a gift – not for a class – and she did! Unfortunately it was poorly packed and the cover is all torn up. But she doesn’t care. Loves the book. The pictures are great.

Great book
Robert David Cotgrove –
An excellent text and reference book.
A classic text book of the body’s most important organ. Superbly well illustrated and clearly written in language accessible to the lay person, this introductory text is a must for first year students of neurobiology and could serve as a useful coffee table reference for interested persons outside the medical professions.

Fantastic. I first found this book at the library …
Fantastic. I first found this book at the library and had to have it. This book provides a different lens to the brain and information that many a psychology text lacks. Love it!

great illustrations
This book was a great find. It has enough information to be a really thorough without being too “medical”. Addresses all aspects of neurology. Great for a high school student. Illustrations help to explain concepts well.

I don’t understand how this book in general took so long to get delivered. I’ve ordered the same one in October ’21 and it took months to deliver to the point I eventually cancelled the order. This one took less time but it is still long overall. Worth the wait though.I liked the thorough information and layout of the whole book. Good quality and almost no damaged edges (see adhesive tape).I used it for myself since I’m quite interested in the workings of the brain and I think it helps with school since I study applied psychology.

The book provides contemporary knowledge about the brain’s structure and functions written in an understandable language. It is a great way to learn more about our CNS. I am so happy that I have come across this book. As a personal trainer I greatly expanded my theoretical base which led to improved training approach I used with my students.I woud absolutely recommend this book to anybody with an inquisitive mind -)
