| Summary: | We live in a time when few mysteries persist, but perhaps two still arouse our fascination and interest in transcending the frontiers of knowledge that limit their understanding. One is the macrocosm of the universe with its infinite space and celestial bodies. The other is the microcosm of our brain, contained in our head, but which also contains galaxies of complexity in the intricate molecular workings of its cells and in the electrical pulsation of its neurons. This organ that is the actor and author of all our thoughts, emotions, actions, dreams and plans is so close to us, after all we all have one, but at the same time so far from our complete understanding. Thus, the brain is the undisputed protagonist of this book that invites and challenges us to a conceptual digression that has neither a starting point nor an arrival point, but rather a polysemic journey, which raises more questions than answers. |
