Publisher's Synopsis
Sleep. Memory. Pleasure. Fear. Language. We experience these things almost every day, but how do our brains create them? 'Your Brain, Explained' is a personal tour around your grey matter. Neuroscientist Marc Dingman gives you a crash course in what goes on in your brain and explains the latest research on the brain functions (and malfunctions) that affect you on a daily basis. You'll also discover what happens when these systems don't work the way they should, causing problems such as insomnia, ADHD, depression or addiction, how neuroscience is working to fix these problems, and how you can build up your defences against the most common faults of the mind.
