Résumé
"Nearly everything we know about the constellations of
neurons in the brain we have learned in the past few
decades, most of that only within the last few years, and
the pace is picking up briskly.... Researchers in more than
a dozen disciplines are asking Plato's question: How does
your internal representation of the world relate to the
objective world outside? How does the electrochemical music
of the neuron form perceptions, memories, and knowledge?
How does it create the mystifying, subjective sense of a
'you' within you, and how does it direct your individual
and social behavior? Science has joined philosophy in this
accelerating effort to define what it means to be alive,
and to find the wellspring of our humanity.
"The aim of this book is to provide a frame of reference
from which to appreciate the exciting advances in
neuroscience that appear with increasing frequency on the
nightly news. It describes what we know about the brain,
how we found out, and what this may mean for the
future."
