How the brain works. Carter Rita

Until recently, the brain remained the last terra of incognitus of the human body. Back in 1986, the outstanding evolutionist John Meinard Smith called the mystery of the brain of one of the two unresolved biology problems (the second - as the embryo turns into an adult organism). However, the latest methods of neuro-visualization give a no less clear picture of our thoughts and feelings than an X-ray-our skeleton. Rita Carter's book is an illustrated guide to a wrinkled grayish substance the size of a coconut in the head of each of us. The scientific consultant was the famous English neurobiologist and neuropsychologist Christopher D. Frit.
