Editorial Reviews

Review
"A delicious and nutritious alphabet soup for brain aficionados. How to Explain a Brain serves a generous portion of savory topics for the hearty neural appetite. From amygdala to emotion, from hippocampus to memory, from neurotransmitter to serotonin, the brain is explained as skillfully as one simmers a sumptuous stock." (Robin Fogarty, President )

"Robert Sylwester does a masterful job presenting a simple but elegant picture of the landscape of the brain and related cognitive processes in clear and direct prose." (PsycCRITIQUES, November 2005 )

Product Description
Discover how the brain is organized and develops and how educators can use this emerging understanding of cognition to enhance student learning and the school environment.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good explanation of the Brain, December 16, 2008
The Handbook is full of useful informations about the Brain. If you want to go into details this is not the book, but it gives you a broad picture of the anatomy and the most important electrochemical structures and functions. I like the Handbook very much and always bring it with me wherever I go.
