The Idea of the Brain: The Past and Future of Neuroscience

Focused on the Past and Future of Neuroscience, The Idea of the Brain brings Matthew Cobb's historical account to a complex and consequential subject. Moving between close detail and context, the book explains the forces surrounding its subject and connects them to the connected fields of psychology and science. Specific examples keep the larger argument tangible and reveal why familiar explanations do not always account for the full story. What emerges is a nuanced account of the subject, its immediate consequences, and its wider meaning.
