The brain, that "cobbled-together mess," is the subject of this lively mix of solid science and fascinating case histories. Linden, a neuroscientist from Johns Hopkins University, offers "the Reader's Digest version" of how the brain functions, followed quickly by the "real biology," before tackling the big questions: Why are people religious? How do we form memories? What makes sleep so vital to mental health? Which is more important, nature or nurture? Linden tackles these problems head on, debunking myths (people do, in fact, use more than 10 percent of their brains) and offering interesting trivia (Einstein's brain was a bit on the small side) along the way. Anti-evolutionary arguments are answered in a chapter titled "The Unintelligent Design of the Brain," in which Linden proposes that it's the brain's "weird agglomeration of ad hoc solutions" that makes humans unique. The book's greatest strength is Linden's knack for demystifying biology and neuroscience with vivid similes (he calls the brain, weighing two percent of total body weight and using 20 percent of its energy, the "Hummer H2 of the body"). Though packed with textbook-ready data, the book grips readers like a masterful teacher; those with little science experience may be surprised to find themselves interested in-and even chuckling over-the migration of neurons along radial glia, and anxious to find out what happens next.
戴維·J·林登(David J.Linden)是美國約翰·霍普金斯大學醫學院教授、神經科學傢,對小腦突觸可塑性有專門的研究。
還算是不錯的腦科學科普書,充斥著大量高中生物知識,所以讀的時候做瞭一些取捨。總之很容易讀的一本友好的書。
評分一本非常有趣的神經生物學的書,有觀點,有論據,有推理,有呼應。大三的時候要看這本書,興許我現在在搞腦科學研究也說不準。

全书逻辑链如下: 成年人类大脑的功能强大。但同时神经细胞漏电严重、传导迟缓;大脑结构又非一次设计成功,而是逐步进化堆积。那么问题是,如此粗略的设计如何实现伟大的功能呢? 答案是神经细胞必须通过巨大数量来弥补低效率。因而成年人大约有1000亿神经元和500万亿突触。 ...
評分总是在图书馆能发现稀奇古怪的书,比如这一本。 它很通俗的举了很多例子,读的一点也不乏味,让我想起了那些又臭又长的论文,讲了很久也不知道他们在讲什么。 难道通俗易懂的东西都死光光了么? 文字的苍白无力,怎能表达丰富的世界? 如果让我写那些无聊的东西。。。。我真的...
