Reviews for Foundational Concepts in Neuroscience: A Brain-Mind Odyssey

Be prepared to be awe struck and endlessly inspired by reading this tour of the human mind and brain with legendary teacher and neuroscientist David Presti. As you learn about the great discoveries of neuroscience--the chemicals, genes, neurons, and brain structures that make us up--you will find answers to timeless questions. What are the origins of life? Why do humans take drugs? What are the emotions? What is consciousness? Who are we? There could be no better guidebook than this endlessly fascinating and important book.--Dacher Keltner, author of Born To Be Good: The Science of a Meaningful Life (05/01/2016)
