In seven short chapters (plus a brief history of how brains evolved), this slim, entertaining, and accessible collection reveals mind-expanding lessons from the front lines of neuroscience research. You ll learn where brains came from, how they re structured (and why it matters), and how yours works in tandem with other brains to create everything you experience. Along the way, you ll also learn to dismiss popular myths such as the idea of a  lizard brain  and the alleged battle between thoughts and emotions, or even between nature and nurture, to determine your behaviour.
