Do Zombies Dream of Undead Sheep? pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 2024
Even if you've never seen a zombie movie or television show, you could identify an undead ghoul if you saw one. With their endless wandering, lumbering gait, insatiable hunger, antisocial behavior, and apparently memory-less existence, zombies are the walking nightmares of our deepest fears. What do these characteristic behaviors reveal about the inner workings of the zombie mind? Could we diagnose zombism as a neurological condition by studying their behavior? In Do Zombies Dream of Undead Sheep?, neuroscientists and zombie enthusiasts Timothy Verstynen and Bradley Voytek apply their neuro-know-how to dissect the puzzle of what has happened to the zombie brain to make the undead act differently than their human prey.
Combining tongue-in-cheek analysis with modern neuroscientific principles, Verstynen and Voytek show how zombism can be understood in terms of current knowledge regarding how the brain works. In each chapter, the authors draw on zombie popular culture and identify a characteristic zombie behavior that can be explained using neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, and brain-behavior relationships. Through this exploration they shed light on fundamental neuroscientific questions such as: How does the brain function during sleeping and waking? What neural systems control movement? What is the nature of sensory perception?
Walking an ingenious line between seriousness and satire, Do Zombies Dream of Undead Sheep? leverages the popularity of zombie culture in order to give readers a solid foundation in neuroscience.
這是一本披著僵屍主題外衣的常規神經科學科普讀物,之所以說常規,是因為其模式在其它神經科學書中屢見不鮮,即每一章介紹不同的功能,如視覺、聽覺、語言、記憶、意識等等。每章的超大量篇幅都是討論正常大腦是如何的,然後受損後是如何的,以及一些有趣病癥的情況,隻有幾段話是聊僵屍的腦,當然瞭,如果純聊僵屍的腦,那就不是科普書,而是科幻瞭,哈哈。但是,要說什麼知識隻能在此書,而不是其它同類書中找到,那基本上真是沒有。也就是說,讀瞭其它同類書之後並沒有什麼必要專門拿此書來讀瞭,說的知識點都差不多。這本書是實實在在的科普,內容都沒有往深瞭講,如果要學神經科學,還是得上專業課去,嗬嗬。
評分寫僵屍都是假的,神經科學科普纔是真。語言簡單比較好讀,適閤當閑書/神經科學入門/鍛煉英語讀。
