1 早期脑发育中,丘脑视觉轴突部分突入听觉皮层,后期消失。但在失聪人群中反而继续生长。 2 出生后第一年后急速产生的1000E个神经元相继死去,有刺激的留下,没有则死去。 3 5岁以前双语教学,小孩能完美发音。12岁之后,第一语言窗户关闭。 4 视觉观察是和电视一样靠扫描产生...
评分 评分作者站在脑科学理论研究的前沿,用大家都能理解的语言叙述大脑的构成,作用。写的清晰,明了,专业人士沈颖教授翻译的也很流畅。值得对脑科学,神经科学、行为和认知感兴趣的人一读。
评分此刻,这本书放在我面前。纸张白色的背景下,黑色的字一行行结队排列着。书上说,在我的大脑中,有着上亿的神经元。这些神经元做梦也不会想到,它们在我脑中加班加点勤力集体劳动,所处理的正是关于它们自己的信息。这种感觉是如此的诡异,就如同一个法官签发了逮捕自己的命令...
评分总是在图书馆能发现稀奇古怪的书,比如这一本。 它很通俗的举了很多例子,读的一点也不乏味,让我想起了那些又臭又长的论文,讲了很久也不知道他们在讲什么。 难道通俗易懂的东西都死光光了么? 文字的苍白无力,怎能表达丰富的世界? 如果让我写那些无聊的东西。。。。我真的...

The brain, that "cobbled-together mess," is the subject of this lively mix of solid science and fascinating case histories. Linden, a neuroscientist from Johns Hopkins University, offers "the Reader's Digest version" of how the brain functions, followed quickly by the "real biology," before tackling the big questions: Why are people religious? How do we form memories? What makes sleep so vital to mental health? Which is more important, nature or nurture? Linden tackles these problems head on, debunking myths (people do, in fact, use more than 10 percent of their brains) and offering interesting trivia (Einstein's brain was a bit on the small side) along the way. Anti-evolutionary arguments are answered in a chapter titled "The Unintelligent Design of the Brain," in which Linden proposes that it's the brain's "weird agglomeration of ad hoc solutions" that makes humans unique. The book's greatest strength is Linden's knack for demystifying biology and neuroscience with vivid similes (he calls the brain, weighing two percent of total body weight and using 20 percent of its energy, the "Hummer H2 of the body"). Though packed with textbook-ready data, the book grips readers like a masterful teacher; those with little science experience may be surprised to find themselves interested in-and even chuckling over-the migration of neurons along radial glia, and anxious to find out what happens next.
一本非常有趣的神经生物学的书,有观点,有论据,有推理,有呼应。大三的时候要看这本书,兴许我现在在搞脑科学研究也说不准。
评分还算是不错的脑科学科普书,充斥着大量高中生物知识,所以读的时候做了一些取舍。总之很容易读的一本友好的书。
评分The brain is like an ice cream cone with new scoops piled on at each stage of our linage. It is a kludge from accidental design. The prefrontal cortex which is hub of cognitive thinking is of very limited functions, our memory is usually misattributed, biased and often twisted by emotions...所以不能完全相信自己的大脑,因为它经常”自欺欺人”
