Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The brain ... There is no other part of the human anatomy that is so intriguing. How does it develop and function and why does it sometimes, tragically, degenerate? The answers are complex. In Discovering the Brain, science writer Sandra Ackerman cuts through the complexity to bring this vital topic to the public. The 1990s were declared the "Decade of the Brain" by former President Bush, and the neuroscience community responded with a host of new investigations and conferences. Discovering the Brain is based on the Institute of Medicine conference, Decade of the Brain: Frontiers in Neuroscience and Brain Research. Discovering the Brain is a "field guide" to the brainâ€"an easy-to-read discussion of the brain's physical structure and where functions such as language and music appreciation lie. Ackerman examines: How electrical and chemical signals are conveyed in the brain. The mechanisms by which we see, hear, think, and pay attentionâ€"and how a "gut feeling" actually originates in the brain. Learning and memory retention, including parallels to computer memory and what they might tell us about our own mental capacity. Development of the brain throughout the life span, with a look at the aging brain. Ackerman provides an enlightening chapter on the connection between the brain's physical condition and various mental disorders and notes what progress can realistically be made toward the prevention and treatment of stroke and other ailments. Finally, she explores the potential for major advances during the "Decade of the Brain," with a look at medical imaging techniquesâ€"what various technologies can and cannot tell usâ€"and how the public and private sectors can contribute to continued advances in neuroscience. This highly readable volume will provide the public and policymakersâ€"and many scientists as wellâ€"with a helpful guide to understanding the many discoveries that are sure to be announced throughout the "Decade of the Brain."

This book was released on 2015-06-28 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Structure and Functions of the Brain and Spinal Cord: Being the Fullerian Lectures for 1891 The following Lectures, which are published at the request of some of those who heard them at the Royal Institution in 1891, have no pretensions to form a monograph upon the subject of which they treat. They are merely an elementary review of it, based upon modern physiological and anatomical research. It is intended that the present volume, which discusses the spinal cord and ganglia alone, shall be followed by two - others the subsequent courses of the Fullerian Lectures - one of which has been already delivered, and the other, it is hoped, will be given in the coming year. These deal with the structure and functions of the great brain, or cerebrum, and the little brain, or cerebellum. In the last course, some of the recent results of research in Physiological Psychology will be described.
