Discover the hidden electrical world inside your nervous system using DIY, hands-on experiments, for all ages. Have you ever asked yourself why you can't remember anything from before the age of three, why people experience deja vu, or how a bundle of cells in our heads can produce the remarkable phenomenon that is human consciousness?

Understanding how our brain works helps us evaluate our own thought processes, and why we behave in certain ways. In How Your Brain Works, neuroscientists Greg Gage and Tim Marzullo offer a practical guide—accessible and useful to readers from middle schoolers to college undergraduates to curious adults—for learning about the brain through hands-on experiments. How The Brain Works takes the reader from the physiology of the brain through to its processes – such as what happens in the brain while we sleep – and on to traumas, diseases and psychological conditions. Although the book itself did not win any awards, McCrone is a thirteen-time Australia Publisher of the Year Award winner.

I think my review is trustworthy because I’m interested in the topic it covers and wouldn’t give it such a good rating if it didn’t expand my knowledge to the extent that it did. The formula below consists of three variables: y = the distance you measured in centimeters; g0 = the acceleration due to gravity constant (981 cm/sec2); and t = time in seconds. He interviews neuroscientists and other experts on motor control to understand how the brain’s motor control system works in extraordinary talented athletes like Stephen Curry, Tom Brady, Serena Williams, and Lionel Messi. How the Brain Works: The Facts Visually Explained published in 2020 by DK Media was written by John McCrone.

Other Minds: The Octopus and the Evolution of Intelligent Life by Peter Godfrey-Smith – This one almost reads like a novel. The simplest graphics and the clearest text combine to produce the most accessible and visual guide to neuroscience available. It’s all about how the octopus mind works, and what it’s like to have eight tentacles that are so packed with neurons that they virtually think for themselves.
