Summary
This award-winning science book uses the latest findings from neuroscience research and brain-imaging technology to take you on a journey into the human brain。
CGI illustrations and brain MRI scans reveal the brain's anatomy in unprecedented detail。 Step-by-step sequences unravel and simplify the complex processes of brain function， such as how nerves transmit signals， how memories are laid down and recalled， and how we register emotions。 The book answers fundamental and compelling questions about the brain: what does it mean to be conscious， what happens when we're asleep， and are the brains of men and women different？
This is an accessible and authoritative reference book to a fascinating part of the human body。 Thanks to improvements in scanning technology， our understanding of the brain is changing quickly。 Now in its third edition， The Human Brain Book provides an up-to-date guide to one of science's most exciting frontiers。 With its coverage of more than 50 brain-related diseases and disorders--from strokes to brain tumors and schizophrenia--it is also an essential manual for students and healthcare professionals。

人的身體很神奇，大腦更是複雜無比。這本百科非常詳細，排版很用心。大腦的研究、基本構造、功能、疾病等，本書都有詳盡的說明，也依照不同的分類讓讀者在閱讀方面更接續。圖文說明配合的完美，對照很方便！

Studied this book over the summer to prepare for my neuroscience classes this next semester in college。 I thought it to be very informative and easy to understand。

這是我之前看到Zen大在臉書上推薦的書籍。就一直標記正在讀吧~這本書是引進英國DK出版社的百科書，真的是DK出版。。。。。。品質保證。很值得收藏的大腦百科圖書，圖片真的很精美！雖然現今人類對大腦還有很多謎團沒有解開，但這本書的內容基本上都是已知的事實，內容很客觀；而且對於我這種非相關領域的一般大眾，難度、深度拿捏得剛好，不至於因為過難、看不懂而失去翻閱的趣味性。如果平常讀到其他的學習方法論、科普相關書籍的話，很適合拿這本百科的圖片對照一下其他書籍提到的腦科學內容，補充其他書籍所缺乏的「精美圖片」，像是我之前讀了《大腦喜歡這樣學》那本書，裡面有講到「記憶」的部分，我拿到書就先翻到「形成記憶的過程」那篇看了。還有「大腦語言區」那篇，看了只會說單一語言的人和會說雙語的人的大腦掃描圖，後者的大腦活化區域真的比較多，看來外語真要好好學啊！而且這本書偶爾拿起來翻閱，讀個2頁也很適合。（因為這本書基本上以2頁為一個小主題，想讀下一個小主題就翻頁繼續再讀就好，所以覺得內容的深度也收得剛好）

Çevirisi çok kötü yapılmış。 Okurken sinirleriniz bozuluyor。 Hatta bazı yerlerde eğer konuyu bilmiyorsanız çeviri hatasından veya okun yanlış konumundan konuyu yanlış öğrenme ihtimaliniz var。

I think every person has an amazing member in his or her body and that is the brain！The human brain book was amazing and when I read that I got a lot o information from that。Thank you Rita carter and thank you all of people that helped a lot for making this book！Andishe Javan

Lovely book。 At times it can get very technical， yet it has many basic introductions to psychology， thus covering a very wide audience and being able to provide value to almost everyone。It starts with a general introduction， followed by several high-quality brain scans， filling an entire page。 It details the ways it can be categorized and its functions。 In roughly the first half of the book， it's more about neuroscience and the general function of the brain and nervous system。 In the second half Lovely book。 At times it can get very technical， yet it has many basic introductions to psychology， thus covering a very wide audience and being able to provide value to almost everyone。It starts with a general introduction， followed by several high-quality brain scans， filling an entire page。 It details the ways it can be categorized and its functions。 In roughly the first half of the book， it's more about neuroscience and the general function of the brain and nervous system。 In the second half， it goes more towards traditional psychology， although often mentioning neural correlates。 It touches on the processing of sensory input， movement， emotions， language， memory， mental disorders and much more。Unfortunately， it doesn't have any meaningful section of cognitive science， and surprisingly， no references at all。 The latter being almost unacceptable in a book like this， and I have no idea why its the case。 Nevertheless， if you want to learn about the brain， it's surely a great place to start。 。。。more

This book read like a "fun" textbook。 I wanted to know the basics of the human brain， which this book fulfilled。 But it also gave me a simple history， pictures and other tidbits of good information。 Easy to read， great pictures and good flow。 This book read like a "fun" textbook。 I wanted to know the basics of the human brain， which this book fulfilled。 But it also gave me a simple history， pictures and other tidbits of good information。 Easy to read， great pictures and good flow。 。。。more
