The Human Brain: New Scientist: The Collection (New Scientist: The Collection Volume Two Book 1)
Lucky you. If you're reading this, you are in possession of one of the most complex and incredible objects in the known universe. It isn't much to look at, but it is what allows us to experience the world, communicate, build civilisations, create great art and fly to the moon. It is, of course, the human brain.
How does a 1.4 kilogram tangle of nerve cells allow you to sense, understand and change the world? How does it support thought, memory and consciousness? What is intelligence? What happens when it goes wrong, and how does it change as we grow older?
The Human Brain, the latest issue of New Scientist: The Collection, is dedicated to the wonderful organ inside your head.
