Judith Horstman gleans fascinating tidbits from brain research articles that have appeared in Scientific American, augmenting them with more recent findings. Each chapter focuses on one aspect of cognitive function. Browse through the book and you’ll learn that obesity appears to shrink your gray matter; those with ADHD typically have an underactive or even smaller-than-average frontal cortex; a procedure called volumetric MRI may predict Alzheimer’s; and more. The Scientific American Brave New Brain leaves us breathless at the pace and direction of neuroscience.
