It spans the landscape of brain science to provide core information from 12 disciplines (including evolution, philosophy, anatomy, chemistry, computer science, brain dynamics, psychology, neurology, psychiatry, psychotherapy and brain imaging). In outlining how and why it is now possible to realistically model aspects of the brain's dynamics from such a wide range of intellectual endeavors, this book will prove itself useful to undergraduates, postgraduates and all those seeking a contemporary perspective and evaluation of the current status and future directions in the brain sciences "The human brain's 100 billion neurons and trillions of connections serve to vigilantly keeps us out of danger in a changing environment, provide us with the skills to satisfy our material needs, operate within a social system, soothe our emotional needs an"
