"e;How can a three-pound mass of jelly that you can hold in your palm imagine angels, contemplate the meaning of infinity, and even question its own place in the cosmos?"e;-V. S. Ramachandran, neuroscientist, 2011How we think, feel, move, remember, imagine, and experience the outside world and our own bodies is the domain of neuroscience.

This accessible, illustrated book traces the development of neuroscience, from ancient beliefs to the technologies of the present day.Topics include: The interaction of mind, soul, and body Localization of functions within the brain Workings of the nervous system The motor system and how we move The sensory system and how we construct perception Mental illness, brain damage, and lessons from dysfunction and disease Mental activity, including learning, memory, identity, and imaginationFeaturing photographs, diagrams and profiles of key figures, this book provides a wonderful grounding in the study of neuroscience through history.ABOUT THE SERIES: Arcturus Fundamentals Series explains fascinating and far-reaching topics in simple terms.
