Your nervous system is you. All the thoughts, perceptions, moods, passions, and dreams that make you an active, sentient being are the work of this amazing network of cells. For many centuries, people knew this was true. But no one was sure how it happened. Now, thanks to the exciting new field of neuroscience, we can chart the workings of the brain and the rest of the nervous system in remarkable detail to explain how neurons, synapses, neurotransmitters, and other biological processes produce all the experiences of everyday life, in every stage of life.

From the spectacular growth of the brain in infancy to the act of learning a skill, falling in love, getting a joke, revising an opinion, or even forgetting a name, something very intriguing is going on behind the scenes.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Educational and relatable. Author goes into depth without losing the lay person. Enjoyable listen even though it gets a bit dry at times. Stick with it, it’s worth it.

Enjoyable

I found the topics of discussion were fantastic. The delivery was good. Remember, this is not an extremely detailed course on the cell biology of the nervous system, it's a more general overview of the field and fields of study of Neuroscience. Well worth the listen.

Great!
