Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

What is really happening inside your brain when you remember, learn, feel, decide, or become aware of the world around you?The Human Brain is a clear, research-grounded guide to the human nervous system and the processes that shape thought, behavior, memory, emotion, and experience.Across ten connected chapters, you will build a structured understanding of how the brain works - from neurons, synapses, and neurotransmitters to perception, learning, memory, motivation, decision-making, consciousness, and the sense of self.Inside, you'll explore: - How the brain and nervous system are organized- How neurons communicate through electrical and chemical signals- How perception and attention shape your experience of reality- How learning changes neural systems through plasticity- Why memory is reconstructive rather than a perfect recording- How emotion connects brain, body, context, and meaning- What dopamine really does in motivation, reward, and learning- How habits and decisions emerge from interacting brain systems- What science currently knows - and still debates - about consciousness- How the brain changes across development, adulthood, and agingRather than reducing the brain to isolated facts, catchy myths, or one-region-one-function explanations, this guide shows how cells, circuits, networks, the body, experience, and environment work together.Complex neuroscience is explained in accessible language without stripping away the evidence, context, uncertainty, or important scientific nuance behind it.One complete topic. Ten clear chapters. Understand how it really works.
