The book explains the basic functions and capabilities of the brain and some common conditions that affect it. Drawing on recent advances in neuroscience, it describes how each higher function —thinking, reasoning, judging, deciding and imagining— has a specific region in the brain, and brings these notions closer to the non-specialist.
