  1. 1. Our Brains, Our Selves

    Masud Husain uses seven patient case studies to explore how brain functions—perception, attention, memory, motivation and empathy—shape our sense of self. The book explains how disruptions to these functions can alter personality and behaviour, and how modern neuroscience helps us understand and sometimes treat those changes. It’s an accessible, human-centred account of how the brain creates identity.
