BRAIN. Tips from a Scientist on How to Maximize the Use of the Most Perfect Organ in the World

HOW HAS THE HUMAN BRAIN CHANGED THROUGH EVOLUTION? WHY DO WE DREAM AND WHAT ARE LUCID DREAMS? WHERE ARE MEMORIES STORED? HOW DO DEPRESSION AND ADDICTION AFFECT THE BRAIN? WHY IS STRESS ONE OF THE GREATEST ENEMIES OF THE BRAIN? WHAT HAPPENS IN THE BRAIN DURING MEDITATION? This book discusses various phenomena of the brain. Mike Trenter talks about cognitive distortions, the inability to recognize faces, the case of Phineas Gage, blindsight, and perfect memory. The author gives readers the opportunity to peek inside the brain and understand what happens when it does not work as it should. THE BOOK IS UNDER THE SCIENTIFIC EDITING OF MIKHAIL TARDOV, D.M.Sc., NEUROLOGIST, PROFESSOR OF THE DEPARTMENT OF GENERAL MEDICAL PRACTICE OF THE MEDICAL INSTITUTE OF RUDN. “Dr. Trenter explains everything in a way that will be understandable even to people who know nothing about science, like me, for example. Moreover, some of his comments made me laugh so much that I wanted to distract my husband from reading his book to share them with him. Dr. Trenter included in the book not only answers to questions but also chapters on “secret materials” of neurobiology, which I liked even more than the question-and-answer part. The chapters are relatively short, so you can choose what to read. There is no need to read the book from cover to cover, and I liked that”. — AMAZON READER
