Brain: Food and Novelty. Why Are We Drawn to the New and Delicious

"Food and Novelty" is the first book in the "21st Century Manias" series. In it, Professor Vyacheslav Dubynin explores issues related to uncontrolled food consumption, obsession with a slim body, food allergies, anxiety about the unknown, and the constant accumulation of knowledge. The author, based on modern scientific research, provides examples that help understand how the obsession with food and novelty reflects on the functioning of our brain. From this book, you will learn: why we get "stuck" in social networks; what makes food tastier; the connection between boredom intolerance and silence; why those with a normal weight try to lose even more; how lies affect the brain.
