Hitchhiking on the brain. When the whole universe is in your head. Belova E.M.

Can you survive without a head? What a stupid question, you answer, any schoolboy will answer that it is impossible. However, one particularly successful chicken succeeded: he ran around his native chicken coop for another year and a half, until he died as a result of accident.

This event clearly shows that we do not know much about our body, or rather, about itself its complex organ - the brain.

In this book you will find the entire “Suvenue” of our head, which was previously available only to doctors and students of medical services; And you will also learn from it why the gray matter is precisely the gray; How coffee makes us mutants; Why alcohol deprives us of the opportunity to speak articulately and why, with all the amazing abilities of our brain, we, a month after an important exam, can not remember anything almost nothing.
