Description:
The ideal introduction for anyone who wants to know more about the human brain.
Why can we talk and our closest cousin, the chimpanzee, not? Does intelligence depend solely on the size of the brain? Why do some people have an exceptional memory and others forget everything after five minutes? How do illusions come about? And how can we explain the placebo effect neurologically? Neurologist Laurent Cohen answers questions that everyone has asked themselves about our human brain in a very accessible and humorous way.
