    About this ebook

    A Definitive Book on How the Brain Evolves Through Every Stage of Life

    The must-read summary of "We Are Our Brains: A Neurobiography of the Brain from the Womb to Alzheimer's," by D. F. Swaab.

    In We Are Our Brains, the renowned neuroscientist D.F. Swaab takes us on a guided tour of the intricate inner workings of our brain, with each chapter serves as a window on a different stage of brain development. He shows how gender identity and moral behavior develop, what goes on in the adolescent mind, and how we age. He looks at common brain diseases like addiction, autism, schizophrenia, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and dementia; and explores the relationship between the brain and religion, the soul, the mind, and free will. This book demystifies the chemical and genetic workings of our most mysterious organ and helps us see who we are through new lenses.

    This guide includes:

    * Book Summary—The summary helps you understand the key ideas and recommendations.
    * Online Videos—On-demand replay of public lectures, and seminars on the topics covered in the chapter.

    Value-added of this guide:

    * Save time
    * Understand key concepts
    * Expand your knowledge

    Read this summary and find out how our brains predetermine everything about us long before we are born, from our moral character to our religious leanings, and sexual orientation.
