The Scientific American Day in the Life of Your Brain

The Scientific American Day in the Life of Your Brain by Judith Horstman

RC 341 .H67 2009

“A 24-Hour Journal of What’s Happening in Your Brain as You Sleep, Dream, Wake Up, Eat, Work, Play, Fight, Love, Worry, Compete, Hope, Make Important Decisions, Age, and Change”–cover.

“The Scientific American Day in the Life of Your Brain reveals what’s going on in there while you sleep and dream, how your brain makes memories and forms addictions, and why we sometimes make bad decisions. The book also offers intriguing information about your emotional brain and what’s happening when you’re feeling love, lust, fear, and anxiety–and how sex, drugs, and rock and roll tickle the same spots.

Based on the latest scientific information, the book explores your brain’s remarkable ability to change, how your brain can make new neurons even into old age, and why multitasking may be bad for you.

Your brain is uniquely yours–but research is showing that many of its day-to-day cycles are universal. This book gives you a look inside your brain and some insights into why you may feel and act as you do.”–book jacket.
