101 Questions Your Brain Has Asked about Itself but Couldn't Answer...

By Byrnie, Faith Hickman

Publishers Summary:
In the last ten years, scientists have learned more about the brain than in all the years of research that came before. This is thanks, in part, to new technologies, which allow researchers to see the living brain at work. We can now look at MRI or PET images and see precisely which parts of the brain go to work when a person lifts a finger, sings a song, writes a poem. While this new information has answered some old questions, it has also raised lots of new ones. Author Faith Brynie polled hundreds of students to find out which questions interested them most. 101 of the best questions are included in this book, along with clearly written and lively answers which sometimes surprise, sometimes entertain, but always remind the reader that the brain is still a frontier that continues to be explored.
