    About this ebook

    Bearing in mind the current problems of mass murder, veteran suicide and
    female depression, all of which seem to suggest some kind of breakdown in the
    mental health of the individuals concerned, the purpose of this monograph is to
    explore the workings of the human sensory nervous system, and in particular the role
    of memory, which plays a crucial role in directing our actions.

      Brain “plasticity” is one of the great discoveries in modern science, but neuroscientist David Eagleman thinks the word is misleading. Unlike plastic, which molds and then retains a particular shape, the brain’s physical structure is continually in f
