The Private Life of the Brain by Susan Greenfield

ISBN: 9780141007205 PUBLISHER: Penguin Books Ltd FORMAT: Paperback PAGES: 272 PUBLICATION DATE: 28.02.2002 DIMENSIONS: 198mmX129mmX16mm 201grams

DESCRIPTION: As our knowledge of the brain grows beyond the wildest expectations, the time is ripe to explore pleasure in terms of workings of the mind. Pleasure is the most marvellous sensation, the most prized state, but also, properly understood, the most basic type of consciousness. Understanding pleasure suggests new ways of understanding consciousness itself - by looking at the neurological characte of our most primitive emotions. In this volume, Susan Greenfield explains various mysteries: for example how different experiences give rise to similar sensations in the mind - such as via sport, raves, or orgasm; the workings of recreational drugs; and the neurological character of pleasure - which reveals a complex, close relationship to feelings of fear (for example, the appeal of the rollercoaster). .
