How The Brain Works by D.K. Publishing

A richly illustrated, accessible guide that explains the structure and function of the human brain—from neurons and synapses to major regions and networks—and shows how electrical and chemical signals produce perception, movement, emotion, learning and memory; it also covers brain development and plasticity, introduces imaging and diagnostic techniques, and discusses common neurological and psychiatric conditions, using clear diagrams and concise explanations to make complex neuroscience understandable for general readers.
