THE THREE-POUND ENIGMA: THE HUMAN BRAIN AND THE QUEST TO UNLOCK ITS MYSTERIES

Book ID/图书代码： 14560006B03852

English Summary/英文概要： Can we know something without being aware that we know it? How does someone with severe amnesia still recognize himself in the mirror? How are we able to erase a traumatic event from our memory? And, how, at only three pounds (80 percent of which is only water), does the human brain give rise to consciousness? How is it capable of outstripping the computational and storage capacities of the most complex computer?
To many of us, the human brain is a mystery. To Shannon Moffett, a Stanford medical student, and to the experts she’s interviewed, it is an irresistible enigma. Moffett takes us down the halls of neuroscience to the front lines of cutting-edge research and medicine to meet some of today’s most extraordinary minds, including

With illustrations and extraordinary case histories, The Three-Pound Enigma is engaging, enlightening, and thought-provoking.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 我们是如何在无意识的状态下了解某事的?患有严重健忘症的病人是怎么在镜子中认出自己的?我们是怎样抹去曾经受伤的记忆?重量仅达3磅的人类大脑(大脑中80%是由水构成的)是怎么产生意识的?人类是如何拥有超越最复杂的计算机的计算和存储的能力的?
对我们大多数人来说,人脑是一个谜。对于Shannon Moffett这个斯坦福大学医学院的学生以及对于她曾经采访过的专家来说，人脑是一个他们都想迫切揭开的谜。
Moffett带领我们穿过神经科学的长廊，走向前沿的科学和医学研究，带我们会会当今社会最杰出的人物……
