Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Fear kept your ancestors alive. Now it is keeping you from living. Fear is the most powerful emotion the human brain generates. It overrides hunger, social obligation, and rational thought in milliseconds. It shapes behaviour more completely and more reliably than any other state the nervous system can produce. And for approximately one in three people, it stops working properly - firing too often, too intensely, at the wrong targets - producing the anxiety disorders that are the most prevalent mental health conditions in the world. In this revelatory account, Nathan K. Voss draws on four decades of fear neuroscience to explain exactly what fear is, how it is built in the brain, why it goes wrong, and what the science says about setting it right. Spanning ten chapters across four parts, this book covers: - The amygdala - the almond-shaped structure whose millisecond-fast alarm system has been protecting organisms from predators for hundreds of millions of years, and what happens when it cannot be turned off- How fear is learned - the Pavlovian conditioning of the fear circuit, why some fears are acquired from a single experience, and why knowing something is irrational does not make it less terrifying- The body of fear - the full physiological cascade that the activated fear circuit produces, from racing heart to trembling muscles, and what this means for treatment- Anxiety - when the alarm system becomes chronically overactive, and the neuroscience of what maintains it- Phobias - why the most common specific fears cluster around snakes, spiders, heights, and social evaluation, and what this reveals about evolutionary biology- PTSD - why traumatic fear memories are encoded differently from ordinary memories, and why this makes them so resistant to the passage of time- Panic disorder - the suffocation false alarm theory, and why the most effective treatment for panic attacks involves deliberately inducing the sensations that trigger them- Social anxiety - the most prevalent and most under-treated anxiety disorder, and why the fear of negative evaluation is the most deeply wired of all human fears- The fear of death - terror management theory, and what the unique human awareness of mortality does to everything else we think, feel, and do- Unlearning fear - the neuroscience of extinction learning, reconsolidation, pharmacological enhancement of therapy, and the brave brainFear is not a character flaw. It is a biological system - one of the most ancient and most important in the human brain. Understanding it is the first step toward living with it differently.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - One in five adults lives with chronic pain. The science that could help them has existed for decades. Almost none of it has reached them. Pain is the most common reason people seek medical care, the largest single cause of disability worldwide, and one of the most poorly understood experiences in medicine. For more than three centuries, doctors have operated on a model of pain borrowed from the seventeenth century - the idea that pain is a signal transmitted from damaged tissue to the brain, proportional to the injury, and best treated by finding and fixing the source. That model is wrong. In Pain: The Body's Most Misunderstood Signal, Nathan K. Voss draws on the neuroscience of the past sixty years to explain what pain actually is: not a signal from the body, but a construction of the brain - shaped by memory, expectation, fear, social context, and the nervous system's own learned history. A brain that has learned to be in pain can sustain it long after the original injury has healed. And a nervous system that has learned pain can, with the right engagement, begin to unlearn it. Spanning ten chapters across five parts, this book covers: - Why the brain builds pain rather than receives it - and what this means for treatment- Phantom limb pain: how the brain generates agony in body parts that no longer exist- The neuroscience of placebo analgesia - and why it is not 'all in your head'- The opioid crisis as a failure of pain science, not just pharmaceutical greed- Chronic pain as a learned neural pattern - and the evidence that it can be reversed- The psychology of suffering: catastrophising, fear-avoidance, and the treatable neuroscience behind them- Who gets believed: the sex and racial disparities in pain treatment and their traceable historical origins>Written with the clarity and narrative drive that the subject demands, Pain is essential reading for the millions of people living with chronic pain, the clinicians treating them, and anyone who wants to understand one of the most fundamental - and most misunderstood - aspects of human experience. The science is here. The understanding is possible. And it changes everything.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - You cannot trust your memory. That is not a criticism. It is neuroscience. Memory is not a recording. It is not a filing cabinet, a hard drive, or a videotape playing back the past. It is a reconstruction - assembled fresh each time you remember, shaped by who you are now, coloured by everything that has happened since, and capable of producing vivid, confident recollections of events that never occurred. This book is about what memory actually is, how it actually works, and why understanding it changes everything - about how you learn, how you grieve, how you age, and how much you should trust the story you tell yourself about your own past. Drawing on sixty years of neuroscience, Nathan K. Voss explores: - Why the brain reconstructs the past rather than replaying it - and what this means for everything you think you remember- The hippocampus: the seahorse-shaped structure that builds every memory you have ever formed - and why it is the first thing Alzheimer's destroys- The science of consolidation and why sleep is not rest but the night shift of memory formation- Why we forget - and why most forgetting is the system working correctly, not failing- Flashbulb memories, emotion, and the neuroscience of why the most vivid memories are not always the most accurate- The seven sins of memory: transience, absent-mindedness, blocking, misattribution, suggestibility, bias, and persistence- Alzheimer's disease - what it does to the brain, why it starts where it does, and what the latest treatments can and cannot do- Trauma, PTSD, and why traumatic memories are stored differently from ordinary ones - and what this means for treatment- False memories - how entirely fabricated events can feel more real than things that actually happened, and why this matters profoundly for the law- What the evidence actually shows about improving memory - and what the industry selling improvement would rather you didn't knowFor anyone who has ever forgotten something they swore they would remember, remembered something that never happened, or watched someone they love lose the thread of their own past - this book is essential reading. Memory is the most personal thing the brain does. Understanding it is understanding yourself.…
