Hormones and Brain Chemistry. Knowledge That Doesn't Take Much Space

The influence of hormones on human life is enormous. Even what is considered exclusively in the realm of psychology—human feelings and emotions—arises as a result of chemical changes in the brain. A small organ weighing about one and a half kilograms is more perfect than the best computer. It allows us to perceive our surroundings, understand the world, and retain what we have seen and heard in memory. And simply to function! This book is about the mysteries of the brain that have already been understood by scientists and those that are yet to be deciphered. How does the brain receive signals from other senses and send commands? How does memory work? How can we influence stress? About this and much more—in our book.
