Susan
Greenfield,
one
of
the
world's
pre-eminent
scientists,
takes
the
reader
on
a
guided
tour
of
the
final
frontier
in
human
understanding:
the
brain.Locked
away
remote
from
the
rest
of
the
body
in
its
own
custom-built
casing
of
skull
bone,
with
no
intrinsic
moving
parts,
the
human
brain
remains
a
tantalising
mystery.
But
now,
more
than
ever
before,
we
have
the
expertise
to
tackle
this
mystery
-
the
last
20
years
have
seen
astounding
progress
in
brain
research.Susan
Greenfield
begins
by
exploring
the
roles
of
different
regions
of
the
brain.
She
then
switches
to
the
opposite
direction
and
examines
how
certain
functions,
such
as
movement
and
vision,
are
accommodated
in
the
brain.
She
describes
how
a
brain
is
made
from
a
single
fertilized
egg,
and
the
fate
of
the
brain
is
traced
through
life
as
we
see
how
it
constantly
changes
as
a
result
of
experience
to
provide
the
essence
of
a
unique individual.
