The Brain: A Very Short Introduction

"How does the brain work? Michael O'Shea provides an accessible introduction to the key questions and current state of brain research, and shows that, though we know a surprising amount, we are still far from having a complete understanding. The topics he discusses range from how we sense things and how memories are stored, to the evolution of brains and nervous systems from primitive organisms, as well as altered mental states, brain-computer hybrids, and the future of brain research."--BOOK JACKET.

Michael O'Shea is Professor of Neuroscience at the University of Sussex, Director of the Sussex Centre for Neuroscience, and Co-Director of the Centre for Computational Neuroscience and Robotics.
