‘Human Brain Basics’ explores the fascinating realm of neuroscience, detailing the human brain’s structure, function, and neurological processes that shape our thoughts, feelings, and actions. This book emphasizes the importance of understanding neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, and neurochemistry to grasp human behavior and cognition. It’s intriguing to learn how the brain’s intricate network of neurons and synapses enables complex functions like memory and decision-making.
The book highlights that our brains exhibit remarkable plasticity, constantly adapting and changing throughout our lives, and this adaptability underlies learning and recovery from injury. The book begins with fundamental concepts like neurons and neurotransmitters, progressing through the brain’s major regions, such as the cerebral cortex and cerebellum, explaining their roles in sensory and motor functions, and higher-level cognition.
It delves into topics like attention, perception, and language, before exploring the different types of memory and the neural mechanisms behind learning. Supported by empirical evidence, including neuroimaging studies, ‘Human Brain Basics’ offers a comprehensive yet accessible overview suitable for students and anyone interested in gaining a solid understanding of brain science and its applications in promoting brain health and understanding neurological disorders.
