书籍简介

这段充满喜剧色彩的科学史之旅，探索了十个令人费解的意外和实验，带我们深入大脑，探索大脑的运作机制。

《走进你的大脑》由神经科学领域教授卡斯韦尔·巴里和他的好友、儿童作家露西·安·昂温共同撰写，带领读者踏上一段不羁的历史之旅，揭秘十项突破性的发现，正是这些发现成就了我们如今对大脑运作方式的理解。

众所周知，人脑复杂难懂。大脑对于我们的运作至关重要——它如此重要，以至于你不能简单地用棍子戳它看看会发生什么。然而，如果有人不小心用棍子戳了自己的大脑，我们就能学到很多东西……

古埃及人在战争中发现大脑比他们想象的更重要；路易吉·加尔瓦尼通过电击死青蛙的腿，揭示了脑细胞的工作原理；菲尼亚斯·盖奇在铁路上不幸遭遇事故，揭示了即使金属棒穿过头部也能幸免于难，因为大脑运作的区域是不同的；而一些不知情的小猫则帮助我们理解了大脑的发育过程。

本书还探讨了我们现在和未来继续测试大脑的潜力，例如，我们如何能够从人工智能中大量了解大脑如何处理信息，而无需在人类身上进行实验。本书以引人入胜的视角深入探讨了最令人费解的科学领域，必将吸引并激发年轻读者的兴趣。

This comedic journey through science history explores ten mind-bending accidents and experiments that take us inside the brain to discover how it works.

Written by professor of neuroscience Caswell Barry, together with his good friend, the children's author Lucy Ann Unwin, Inside Your Brain takes readers on an irreverent gallop through history to uncover ten groundbreaking discoveries that led to our current understanding of how the brain works.

The human brain is famously complex and difficult to understand. The brain is also essential to how we function – so much so, that you can't simply poke a stick at it to see what happens. However, if someone accidentally pokes a stick through their own brain, there's a lot we can learn...

The ancient Egyptians discovered in battle that the brain was more important than they'd thought; Luigi Galvani sent electric shocks through dead frogs' legs and uncovered how brain cells work; Phineas Gage's unfortunate accident on the railroads revealed that you can survive a metal rod through the head because the brain operates using separate regions; while some unwitting kittens helped us understand how our brain develops.

This book also touches on our present and future potential to continue testing the brain, such as how we can learn an enormous amount about how the brain processes information from AI, without experimenting on a human subject. This entertaining and engaging deep dive into the most mind-boggling area of science is sure to fascinate and delight young readers.
