| Book Description | Cognition, brain, and consciousness, second edition, provides students and readers with an overview of the study of the human brain and its cognitive development. It discusses brain molecules and their primary function, which is to help carry brain signals to and from the different parts of the human body. These molecules are also essential for understanding language, learning, perception, thinking, and other cognitive functions of our brain. The book also presents the tools that can be used to view the human brain through brain imaging or recording. New to this edition are frontiers in cognitive neuroscience text boxes, each one focusing on a leading researcher and their topic of expertise. There is a new chapter on genes and molecules of cognition; all other chapters have been thoroughly revised, based on the most recent discoveries. This text is designed for undergraduate and graduate students in psychology, neuroscience, and related disciplines in which cognitive neuroscience is taught. |
| Editorial Review | This extremely exciting book provides the reader the necessary basic information to appreciate how the traditional separation between the mind and the brain is nowadays challenged by the nomological network generated by the careful observation of the biological-neurological events and the related cognitive inferred concepts. |
