Summary:
Now Available in Paperback!The era of the New Brain is upon us!
Already our brains are working differently than they did just one
hundred years ago. Drugs are already available that work in the brain
to prevent us from feeling drowsy, depressed, anxious, or fearful, or
that enhance concentration and memory. Dramatic treatments to repair
damage in the brain are becoming common. In The New Brain,
neurologist, neuropsychiatrist, and bestselling author Dr. Richard
Restak tells how technology and biology are converging to influence
the evolution of the human brain. Dr. Restak describes the dramatic
advances that now are possible, as well as the potential for misuse
and abuse, examining such questions as: Is Attention Deficit Disorder
a "normal" response to the modern world's demand that we attend to
several things at once? What happens in our brains when images
replace language as the primary means of communication? How does
exposure to violent imagery affect our brains? Are we all capable of
training our brains to perform at a superior level?
