The book that explains everything about the human brain
How does the brain generate a thought? Why do we dream? Who decides when we feel hungry or emotional? Discovering how the mind works has never been this easy — or this exciting. In this second volume of the 15 Questions series, Pierdomenico Baccalario and Federico Taddia take readers on a fascinating journey inside our heads, exploring synapses, memory, emotions, senses, and intelligence. With insights from neuroscientist Luca Bonfanti and the vibrant illustrations of Claudia Petrazzi, the book blends humor, storytelling, and science to make neuroscience engaging and fun for young readers.
