Overview

A comprehensive, panoramic overview of the human brain. Written in easy-to-understand language for professionals, students, and parents. One in five Americans will live with a brain disease or disorder such as Alzheimer's, addiction, learning disabilities, ADHD, stroke, epilepsy and many others. However, five in five of us will know and care for a person with a brain disorder. The remarkable brain makes us who we are. Our education depends on it; our ability to earn a living does, too. Social relations depend entirely on our brain. But a brain compromised by illness or injury can have a devastating effect on our lives. Think of the cost and pain of spinal cord injury. Not only countless money in medical costs, but emotional and physical withdrawal from many activities. Learn as much as you can about key brain diseases and disorders in this panoramic guide to the most complex resource in the known--or unknown--universe. You'll find here brief description and science background from superior neuroscientists of the former Dana Alliance for Brain Initiatives. The author, who worked with these leaders, including Nobel laureates, spent 13 years learning the science and communicating it to the general public. He did so in publications such as the Dana Sourcebook of Brain Science for Teachers and Students and Brain Connections: a guide to the costliest and under funded brain malfunctions.
