The Modern Brain: The New Map of Neuroscience (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798256208370)

What if everything you thought you knew about the brain was only part of the story?

The Modern Brain reveals how today's neuroscience is transforming our understanding of thought, memory, emotion, behavior, creativity, and identity. Moving from genes and neurons to glial cells, dynamic circuits, brain networks, artificial intelligence, organoids, and brain-machine interfaces, this book presents the brain not as fixed wiring, but as a living, adaptive system constantly reshaped by experience and internal state.

Written for curious readers without requiring a specialist background, it brings together the most important discoveries shaping modern brain science-and explores how they may redefine mental health, neurological medicine, human cognition, and the future of the mind.

Clear, ambitious, and deeply engaging, The Modern Brain is your guide to the new science of who we are-and who we may become.
