The Great Brain Debate

Description

"In The Great Brain Debate, John Dowling, eminent neuroscience researcher, focuses on the connection between the brain and vision, as well as the ways in which our brains help us learn new languages. Thanks to Dowling's and his fellow neuroscientists' findings, we are now able to gain startling new insights into how the brain functions and how it can (or cannot) be molded and changed." "By studying the brain across the spectrum of our lives, from infancy through adulthood and into old age, we see how the brain develops, transforms, and adjusts through the years. Looking specifically at early development and then at the opportunities for additional learning and development as we grow older, we learn more about the ways in which both nature and nurture play key roles over the course of a human lifetime."--Jacket.
