Bedienungsanleitung f|r ein menschliches Gehirn (German Edition)

Pioneering discoveries have been made in modern brain research. The so-called plasticity of the human brain means that it can change, expand, and adapt over its lifetime. The inner structure and organization of the brain adapts to the way it is being used. If the brain adapts based on how it is used and how it has been used, the question arises how we should be using our brain to reap the highest possible benefits from it. In an easily readable and imaginative language, neurobiologist Gerald Huther examines this complex issue and presents evidence that topples our current view and forces us to address an issue that we have all too happily shed in the past: responsibility.
