Brains Through Time examines how vertebrate nervous systems evolved in conjunction with other organ systems and the planet's ecology. Surveying an enormous range of information on genes and proteins, sensory and motor systems, central neural circuits, physiology, and animal behavior, the authors reconstruct the major changes that occurred as vertebrates emerged and then diversified.

Did you know that parrotfish poop creates sandy beaches or that Sahara Desert dust helps trees grow in the Amazon Rainforest? In this fun, curiosity-fueled book, award-winning scientist and former EdTech COO Keryn Gold, PhD, MBA takes listeners on a wild ride through surprising science facts that reveal how bugs, beasts, oceans, forests—even space—are all connected.

John Parrington draws on the latest research on the human brain to show how it differs strikingly from those of other animals in its structure and function at a molecular and cellular level. And he argues that this 'shift', enlarging the brain, giving it greater flexibility and enabling higher functions such as imagination, was driven by tool use, but especially by the development of one remarkable tool - language.

An important—and intimate—interrogation of how we treat mental illness and how we understand ourselves In the early 1960s, JFK declared that science would take us to the moon. He also declared that science would make the “remote reaches of the mind accessible” and cure psychiatric...

The time to rethink degenerative brain disorders has come. With no biological boundaries between neurodegenerative diseases, illnesses such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's result from a large spectrum of biological abnormalities, hampering effective treatment. Acclaimed neurologist Dr. Alberto Espay and Parkinson's advocate Benjamin Stecher present compelling evidence that these diseases should be targeted according to genetic and molecular signatures rather than clinical diagnoses.

Leading neuroscience researchers are racing to unlock the secrets of the mind. On the cusp of decoding brain signals that govern motor skills, they are developing miraculous technologies to enable paraplegics and wounded soldiers to move prosthetic limbs, and the rest of us to manipulate computers and other objects through thought alone. These fiercely competitive scientists are vying for Defense Department and venture capital funding, prestige, and great wealth.

Bastian is not your regular run-off the mill doctor. He is smart as a whip, deeply intuitive, and equipped with an incisive mind that questions the different mental ailments that assail humans. His patients are as diverse as he is, ranging from a loving school teacher, to a whizz kid, to even a divorcee. One common thread that binds them is their addiction to different substances and their futile search for liberation. Together, doctor and patients work to find a definite solution to their problems of addiction. Simply put, this is the subject of this book.

The nature of consciousness and the relationship between the mind and brain have become the most hotly debated topics in philosophy. This book explains and argues for a new approach called enactivism. Enactivism maintains that consciousness and all subjective thoughts and feelings arise from an organism's attempts to use its environment in the service of purposeful action. The authors admit that their perspective presents many problems: How does one distinguish real action from reaction? Is it scientifically acceptable to say that the whole organism can use its parts, instead of being a mere summation of their separate mechanical reactions? What about the danger that this analysis will imply that physical systems fail to be "causally closed"?

A strong memory and healthy brain aren't as difficult to maintain as one might think; combining the latest neuroscience research with age-old wisdom about resilience, mindfulness, and stress reduction, Drs. Henry Emmons and David Alter show that vibrant aging is within reach.

Questioning, skepticism, reasoning...all these things have one thing in common: They are the traits of a true critical thinker, someone who doesn't just accept something because everyone else is screaming the same claims. You're going to learn more about some of the following things: Inductive and deductive thinking, skeptical reasoning, rationalism and what it entails, how to make better decisions with logic and numbers, and so much more!

もう人間関係、世代間ギャップ、依存症で悩まない！　脳科学者が脳卒中に学んだこと。

Those words spoken by Hud Haller are the first line of chapter one. Minutes later, a two-helicopter collision plummets him and everyone aboard to their deaths. Now there is only one member of Electra Kittner’s “Keepers Group” still alive: Su-Lin Song Chou, who is ninety-plus and in failing health. She hasn’t a clue what to do to keep the memory or hope alive for Electra. But one entity does: Indira, the Singularity Electra created.

Electra Kittner - now an Electra-Alisha split personality infected with an STD-like T-Plague mutation - must cure herself first before battling a new set of enemies in cyber- as well as 3D-space. She must also contend with a relentlessly harsh government, as well as random acts of terrorism masterminded by a rogue paramilitary force allied with China and Russia, all interwoven into the fabric of her professional and personal lives fraught with technological and political uncertainties. Can she hold adversaries at bay?
