ntroduction
Prepare yourself for a journey to a world filled with sights,
sounds, tastes, and smells. You will not need a suitcase or ticket
for your travels, but you should be prepared for unexpected adventures.
Your journey will take you to the world inside your brain.
There are many good reasons to learn about the brain. The brain
controls all of your thoughts, emotions, and actions. The wonder of
this fantastic three-pound organ should fascinate us all. There are
also practical reasons to study the brain. Damage to the brain may
cause severe problems such as the inability to move, talk, and feel.
Someone you know may have a brain disorder such as epilepsy,
depression, cerebral palsy, Parkinson’s disease, or Alzheimer’s
disease. The people (and their friends and relatives) affected by
these disorders pay a high physical, emotional, and financial price.
We must understand how the brain works so we can develop
new treatments and cures for these disorders.
This book is for anyone interested in learning about the
brain and nervous system. Each chapter starts with background
information to give you an overview of the chapter
topic. The background information is followed by experiments,
games, and demonstrations to help you understand
these new ideas. This book is not a textbook. Rather, the
book is organized to supplement other material to help you
learn about the nervous system.
The activities, projects, and experiments in this book will
make you think and ask questions about how your brain
works. Asking questions is good—remember that the only
bad questions are those that you do not ask.
The brain is a world
consisting of a number of unexplored
continents and great stretches of unknown territory.
—Neuroanatomist Santiago Ramón y Cajal (1843–1926)
