McGaugh, Research Professor of Neurobiology and Behavior, University of California, Irvine * An absolutely fascinating read peppered with gems of surprising information on how certain foods, plants, nicotine and drugs (legal and illegal) alter the very essence of your brain cells functioning and thus your behavior and mood. Dont deprive yourself of the pleasure of reading it. * Jean Carper, author of Your Miracle Brain and 100 Simple Things You Can Do to Prevent Alzheimers and Age-Related Memory Loss * All of us are impacted by a bewildering array of psychoactive drugs and foods, some being agents of abuse and others being of importance in treating disease. Gary Wenk, a nationally eminent neuroscientist, provides a gripping account of the neurotransmitters that enable neurons in the brain to talk to each other and shows how drugs as well as substances derived from foods exert their psychoactive influences. * Solomon H. Snyder, MD, Distinguished Service Professor of Neuroscience, Pharmacology and Psychiatry, Johns Hopkins University * Intriguing * Scientific American MIND *
