Today, brain scans reveal our thoughts and moods with the clarity of an X-ray revealing bones. This remarkable ability to observe mental processes—whether it’s witnessing the brain’s reaction to humor, the processing of complex emotions, or the re-experiencing of painful memories—has fundamentally transformed our understanding of the mind and its inner workings. In Mapping the Mind, award-winning journalist Rita Carter draws on the latest advancements in imaging technology and neuroscience. Her work maps the ways human behavior and personality emerge from biological mechanisms of thought and emotion.
This highly regarded book provides a complete visual exploration of the brain, a coconut-sized, wrinkled gray mass that defines so much of who we are. Thoroughly revised and updated, Carter’s work covers extensive topics. Such as obsessions, addictions, the differences between male and female brains, and memory. This new edition includes the latest research, fresh case studies, and contributions from leading scientists. Carter also addresses recent debates on behavior prediction and prevention. She introduces new insights on mirror neurons, unconscious cognition, and attention span abnormalities. Through Mapping the Mind, Carter offers a clear and detailed journey into the biological basis of thought and feeling, showing how each part of the brain shapes the human experience.
