具体描述
The brain, that "cobbled-together mess," is the subject of this lively mix of solid science and fascinating case histories. Linden, a neuroscientist from Johns Hopkins University, offers "the Reader's Digest version" of how the brain functions, followed quickly by the "real biology," before tackling the big questions: Why are people religious? How do we form memories? What makes sleep so vital to mental health? Which is more important, nature or nurture? Linden tackles these problems head on, debunking myths (people do, in fact, use more than 10 percent of their brains) and offering interesting trivia (Einstein's brain was a bit on the small side) along the way. Anti-evolutionary arguments are answered in a chapter titled "The Unintelligent Design of the Brain," in which Linden proposes that it's the brain's "weird agglomeration of ad hoc solutions" that makes humans unique. The book's greatest strength is Linden's knack for demystifying biology and neuroscience with vivid similes (he calls the brain, weighing two percent of total body weight and using 20 percent of its energy, the "Hummer H2 of the body"). Though packed with textbook-ready data, the book grips readers like a masterful teacher; those with little science experience may be surprised to find themselves interested in-and even chuckling over-the migration of neurons along radial glia, and anxious to find out what happens next.

读后感
全书逻辑链如下： 成年人类大脑的功能强大。但同时神经细胞漏电严重、传导迟缓；大脑结构又非一次设计成功，而是逐步进化堆积。那么问题是，如此粗略的设计如何实现伟大的功能呢? 答案是神经细胞必须通过巨大数量来弥补低效率。因而成年人大约有1000亿神经元和500万亿突触。 ...
评分这本书的英文版和中文版我都在看。此书做了有益的科普，例如引言中就说了：“仅仅使用了大脑10%的说法是没有根据的”。但是也有些以讹传讹，例如第一章引用的Phineas Gage的案例，特别是第18页对Gage死因的描述完全是道听途说，极大影响了这本书的可信性。作为进化论的信奉者，...
评分1 早期脑发育中，丘脑视觉轴突部分突入听觉皮层，后期消失。但在失聪人群中反而继续生长。 2 出生后第一年后急速产生的1000E个神经元相继死去，有刺激的留下，没有则死去。 3 5岁以前双语教学，小孩能完美发音。12岁之后，第一语言窗户关闭。 4 视觉观察是和电视一样靠扫描产生...
评分 评分好多地方的翻译难以看懂，甚至有些地方说反了： “相反地，一些行为特征并不怎么受到环境的影响：饮食习惯非常依赖于早期早期经验（包括啮齿类和人类）……”，原文是“In contrast, other behavioral traits do not appear to be strongly influenced by genes:”，原文是gene...
用户评价
The brain is like an ice cream cone with new scoops piled on at each stage of our linage. It is a kludge from accidental design. The prefrontal cortex which is hub of cognitive thinking is of very limited functions, our memory is usually misattributed, biased and often twisted by emotions...所以不能完全相信自己的大脑，因为它经常”自欺欺人”
评分还算是不错的脑科学科普书，充斥着大量高中生物知识，所以读的时候做了一些取舍。总之很容易读的一本友好的书。
评分这种书用audiobook简直太不合适了。图书馆的书到手，手工照书画了几幅图，仔细查了字典，清楚了许多许多。不过发现用中文学英文的术语是音译或者翻译的颇勉强，有些脱离了词根什么的，反而完全没办法记。应该在读其他脑科学的书之前先读这个入门的。sigh.
评分:无
