Description

In 2000 ended the “decade of the brain” and started the “century of the brain”, characterised by a continuous and fast expansion of the neurosciences. In the last years the investment of resources in this branch grew exponentially as like as the interest of an increasingly large public for subjects which look very promising. Many technical terms with the prefix neuro- have appeared (e.g. neuroesthetics, neuroeconomics), to the point that it would be taking a so-called neuro-turn. Actually, Western culture has never ceased to question about the relationship between body and mind and about structure and functions of the nervous system.
The book historically reviews some phases of this research with a clear and comprehensible language. The first chapter goes in general terms from the ancient times to the modern science; the second focuses on an intense and productive period dominated by the influence of phrenology; the third, finally, selects and describes some particularly significant episodes occurred during the 19th and the 20th century.
