Summary: "In the style of Fungipedia and the other pedias, this book will explore the brain in approximately 200 short, engaging mini encyclopedia entries. Covering a wide range of topics - brain areas and systems, brain disorders, neurotransmitters, neurotoxins, and colorful characters such as Einstein, Phineas Gage, and Carl Wernicke - Neuropedia will offer an engaging tour of brain anatomy and function. Like other books in this series, entries will be complemented by line-drawings throughout"-- Provided by publisher.Summary: "A fun and fact-filled A-Z treasury for anyone with a head on their shouldersNeuropedia journeys into the mysteries and marvels of the three pounds of tissue between your ears-the brain. Eric Chudler takes you on a breathtaking tour of the nervous system with dozens of entries that explore the structure and function of the brain and cover topics such as the spinal cord and nerve cells, the methods of neuroscientific research, and the visionary scientists who have dedicated their lives to understanding what makes each of us who we are.The brain has fascinated and puzzled researchers, physicians, and philosophers for thousands of years and captivated us with each new discovery. This compendium of neuroscientific wonders is brimming with facts and insights, helping us to make sense of our current understanding of the nervous system while identifying the frontiers in our knowledge that remain unexplored. Chudler guides readers through a variety of rare and common neurological disorders such as alien hand disorder, Capgras syndrome, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and stroke, and discusses the latest brain-imaging methods used to diagnose them. He discusses neurochemicals, neurotoxins, and lifesaving drugs, and offers bold perspectives on human consciousness that enable us to better appreciate our place in nature.With marvelous illustrations by Kelly Chudler, Neuropedia is an informative and entertaining trip into the inner world of the brain"-- Provided by publisher.
