But how do we know what we know?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eCircuit Breakers\u003c\/i\u003e, Harvard neuroscientist Dr. Anna Chambers pulls back the curtain to show us what happens in the modern brain research laboratory. Here, we learn how cutting-edge tools can manipulate memories, make neurons glow in the dark, and record signals at every level, from the whole brain to a single synapse. In the rapidly expanding field of neuroscience, unprecedented discoveries may be all in a day's work. Through stories of the 'science around the science'--all the daily problems a scientist must solve, like accessing a living brain encased in a skull, or figuring out how to coax unusual creatures like cuttlefish and bats into behaving naturally in a lab--Chambers invites us into spaces where few of us ever venture. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eCircuit Breakers\u003c\/i\u003e weaves down-to-earth explanations of futuristic tools, like human brain implants and laser-controlled neurons, with candid interviews and stories from her own often-grueling journey as a researcher. Throughout, Chambers tells the little-known stories of these discoveries with equal parts humor and wonder. Through sharing this fascinating--and sometimes downright strange-- profession with the wider world, \u003ci\u003eCircuit Breakers\u003c\/i\u003e is deeply committed to inspiring young neuroscientists, improving scientific literacy, and dispelling the many myths about the brain, the ultimate \"black box.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anna Chambers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1419773585\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781419773587\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Abrams Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/03\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Anna Chambers","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48460341707007,"sku":"9781419773587","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_768951b4-5f0e-4427-b0bf-538c51f0b022.jpg?v=1777414115","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/circuit-breakers-anna-chambers-9781419773587","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
