Synopsis: From the jacket: One of the most exciting and important areas of discovery since the unraveling of the double helix has been in the field of cognitive and brain science, where researchers using the most sophisticated techniques have been able to identify specific chemicals in the brain that are associated with or appear to control our states of mind.
Mind Matters describes how the mind and the brain are bound together activities on one level affect activities on the other. Dealing with subjects that range from pain to passion, from depression to delirium, from anxiety to addiction, the author takes the reader on a breathtaking tour of the latest research showing the myriad ways the mind interprets the chemical changes in the brain and thereby provides the substance of human consciousness.
At the turn of the century, Sigmund Freud revolutionized the study of the mind, and his model has endured for generations. Now Dr. Gazzaniga and his fellow brain scientists have opened up a whole new territory that will vastly change our thinking about how our minds and bodies interact, and that even leads to some ideas about how we can better manage our lives. Our sense of self will never be the same.
