大脑人体解剖学中没有其他部分如此有趣。它是如何发展和发挥作用的，为什么它有时会悲剧性地退化？答案很复杂。在《发现大脑》一书中，科普作家桑德拉·阿克曼（Sandra Ackerman）从复杂性中切入，将这个至关重要的话题带给了公众。20世纪90年代被前总统布什宣布为“大脑的十年”，神经科学界以一系列新的研究和会议作为回应。发现大脑是基于医学研究所会议，大脑的十年：神经科学和大脑研究的前沿。《发现大脑》是一本大脑的“实地指南”--一本关于大脑物理结构以及语言和音乐欣赏等功能所在的易读讨论。阿克曼研究了电子和化学信号是如何在大脑中传递的。* 我们看到、听到、思考和注意力的机制--以及“直觉”实际上是如何起源于大脑的。* 学习和记忆保持，包括与计算机记忆的相似之处，以及它们可能告诉我们关于我们自己的心理能力的信息。* 大脑在整个生命周期中的发展，看看大脑的衰老。阿克曼提供了一个启发性的章节之间的联系大脑的身体状况和各种精神障碍，并指出什么进展，可以切实朝着预防和治疗中风和其他疾病。最后，她探讨了在“大脑的十年”期间取得重大进展的潜力，并介绍了医学成像技术-各种技术可以告诉我们什么，不能告诉我们什么-以及公共和私营部门如何为神经科学的持续进步做出贡献。这本可读性很强的书将为公众和决策者--以及许多科学家--提供一个有用的指南，帮助他们理解在“大脑的十年”中肯定会宣布的许多发现。"
The brain ...There is no other part of the human anatomy that is so intriguing. How does it develop and function and why does it sometimes, tragically, degenerate? The answers are complex. In Discovering the Brain, science writer Sandra Ackerman cuts through the complexity to bring this vital topic to the public. The 1990s were declared the "Decade of the Brain" by former President Bush, and the neuroscience community responded with a host of new investigations and conferences. Discovering the Brain is based on the Institute of Medicine conference, Decade of the Brain: Frontiers in Neuroscience and Brain Research. Discovering the Brain is a "field guide" to the brain--an easy-to-read discussion of the brain's physical structure and where functions such as language and music appreciation lie. Ackerman examines * How electrical and chemical signals are conveyed in the brain. * The mechanisms by which we see, hear, think, and pay attention--and how a "gut feeling" actually originates in the brain. * Learning and memory retention, including parallels to computer memory and what they might tell us about our own mental capacity. * Development of the brain throughout the life span, with a look at the aging brain. Ackerman provides an enlightening chapter on the connection between the brain's physical condition and various mental disorders and notes what progress can realistically be made toward the prevention and treatment of stroke and other ailments. Finally, she explores the potential for major advances during the "Decade of the Brain," with a look at medical imaging techniques--what various technologies can and cannot tell us--and how the public and private sectors can contribute to continued advances in neuroscience. This highly readable volume will provide the public and policymakers--and many scientists as well--with a helpful guide to understanding the many discoveries that are sure to be announced throughout the "Decade of the Brain."
