How does compassion arise? What happens in our brain when we find something funny? And where exactly is consciousness located - or even drunkenness? One thing is certain: brain research is far too exciting to leave it to neurobiologists! Therefore, the handpicked experts in this book not only introduce us to the wonderful world beneath our skull but also transform interesting facts into stimulating entertainment. Following Manfred Spitzer's successful books "Nervous Matters" and "Nerve-Racking," this is the next volume with stories about the brain.
