商品描述
Understanding the Brain: A Short Guide tackles some of the most profound questions about what it means to be human, exploring the origins of consciousness, the development of language, and the future of brain research. This book examines the brain's mysteries through the lens of cognitive neuroscience, offering readers a compelling journey from historical discoveries to cutting-edge advancements. It also poses intriguing questions about the possibilities of decoding dreams and thoughts by analyzing neural activity, pushing the boundaries of what we know about the brain.
This concise guide synthesizes the evolution of cognitive neuroscience, beginning with Paul Broca's groundbreaking work in the 19th century and progressing to modern breakthroughs in imaging and behavioural analysis. It highlights practical applications of brain research, such as combating organ aging and understanding neurological pathologies like stroke and Parkinson's disease. By combining historical context with the latest scientific insights, the book provides readers with a comprehensive understanding of the brain's complexities and its influence on human behaviour and abilities.
Understanding the Brain: A Short Guide is an essential read for anyone fascinated by the science of the brain and its impact on human life. Whether you are a student, researcher, or simply curious about neuroscience, this book offers an accessible yet thought-provoking exploration of the brain's workings. With its blend of historical perspective and forward-looking questions, it appeals to readers eager to deepen their knowledge of one of science's most enigmatic frontiers.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
《理解大腦：簡明指南》探討了關於人類存在的最深刻問題，探索意識的起源、語言的發展以及大腦研究的未來。本書通過認知神經科學的視角檢視大腦的奧秘，為讀者提供了一段從歷史發現到尖端進展的引人入勝的旅程。它還提出了有趣的問題，例如通過分析神經活動來解碼夢境和思想的可能性，挑戰我們對大腦的認知邊界。
這本簡明的指南綜合了認知神經科學的演變，從保羅·布羅卡（Paul Broca）在19世紀的開創性工作開始，進展到現代在影像學和行為分析方面的突破。它突顯了大腦研究的實際應用，例如對抗器官衰老和理解中風及帕金森病等神經病理學。通過結合歷史背景與最新的科學見解，本書為讀者提供了對大腦複雜性及其對人類行為和能力影響的全面理解。
《理解大腦：簡明指南》是任何對大腦科學及其對人類生活影響感興趣的人的必讀之作。無論你是學生、研究人員，還是對神經科學感到好奇的讀者，本書都提供了一個易於理解但引人深思的探索大腦運作的機會。憑藉其歷史視角與前瞻性問題的結合，它吸引了渴望深入了解科學最神秘前沿之一的讀者。
作者簡介
Paolo Bartolomeo, MD, PhD, is a clinical neurologist and neuroscientist with special expertise in the cognitive neuroscience of attention and consciousness. He co-leads the PICNIC Lab (Physiological Investigations of Clinically Normal and Impaired Cognition) at the Paris Brain Institute, located within the Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital in Paris, France. His research has made high-impact contributions to understanding the structural and functional neuroanatomy of attention, perception, and mental imagery. His work employs a multidisciplinary approach integrating cutting-edge behavioral assessments, advanced neuroimaging, and neurostimulation techniques. His investigations, spanning healthy individuals and patients with brain injuries, have provided insight into the neural basis of conscious experience, cognitive recovery in stroke, and the dynamic interactions between perception and attention.
