How we think, feel, move, remember, imagine & experience the outside world & our own bodies is the domain of neuroscience.
It is as old as humanity itself, yet has only been recognized as a discrete science in the past hundred years or so. This book traces its history, from Ancient Egyptian & Greek beliefs about the mind, body & soul, through the findings of Leonardo, Vesalius, Descartes & others, to the brain-imaging technologies of the present day.
The story of neuroscience weaves together narratives from philosophy, religion, psychology, physics, anatomy, chemistry, pharmacology & a host of other sciences. It is a story that is still unfolding today.
