Human Brain - Greenfield Susan
Locked away remote from the rest of the body in its own custom-built casing of skull bone, with no intrinsic moving parts, the human brain remains a tantalising mystery. Susan Greenfield begins by exploring the roles of different regions of the brain. But now, more than ever before, we have the expertise to tackle this mystery - the last 20 years have seen astounding progress in brain research.
She describes how a brain is made from a single fertilized egg; the fate of the brain is traced through life as we see how it constantly changes as a result of experience to provide the essence of a unique individual. She then switches to the opposite direction and examines how certain functions, such as movement and vision, are accommodated in the brain.
