Fundamentals of Cognitive Neuroscience: A Beginner's Guide

from Medicine Made Simple · host Medicine Made Simple

A comprehensive introductory guide to the biological mechanisms of the human mind. Authors Nicole M. Gage and Bernard J. Baars explore the neural framework of everyday experiences, such as memory, perception, and emotion, through the lens of modern brain imaging technology. The text emphasizes the interaction between conscious and unconscious processes, using a "theater" analogy to illustrate how attention and working memory function. It further examines neuroanatomy and connectivity, detailing how the brain's physical structures and electrical rhythms create a unified "symphony" of thought. This second edition features expanded content on sleep, social cognition, and clinical disorders, providing students with an accessible path to understanding complex brain functions. Additional resources like study guides and lecture slides are also highlighted to support both academic instruction and individual learning.Get the Book now from Amazon:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07BJH979Z?lv=shuf&channelId=500&plpRedirect=mhFallback&linkCode=ll2&tag=cvthunderx-20&linkId=251429e3aaf122faa296b2432b2a54bd&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tlYou can listen and download our episodes for free on more than 10 different platforms:https://linktr.ee/medicine_made_simpleProduced by:https://www.podcaistudio.com/
