The 1st illustrated guide to the new science of the brain, combining anecdote, science and cutting edge images of the brain at work, in a cross between Oliver Sacks and Man Watching. The latest brain scan reveal our thoughts, memories- even our moods. You can watch a persons brain light up as a joke is registered and see fear generated. Mapping the Mind shows how these findings can be used as a basis for explaining aspects of our culture and behaviour, and how behavioural eccentricities can be traced to abnormalities in the geography of an individual brain: autism appears to be a breakdown in the are of the brain that governs empathy, dyslexia may be caused by a short circuit in the messages converting sound to visual cues. Then the structural differences in male and female brains, and the extroadinary pre-birth moulding which creates them, are explored as we begin to discover what makes us as we are.
