Neurosciences - From Molecule to Behavior: a university textbook
Neurosciences – a comprehensive approach This textbook covers neuroscience from cellular and molecular mechanisms to behavior and cognitive processing. We also address evolution of the nervous system, computational neuroscience, the history of neuroscience as a discipline and neurophilosophy – to name but a few. The book provides the newest state-of-the-art knowledge about neuroscience from across the animal kingdom, with particular emphasis on model species commonly used in neuroscience labs across the world: mouse, zebra fish, fruit fly, honeybee, and nematode worm. We aim at university students of neuroscience, psychology, biological sciences, and medical sciences, but also computer scientists, philosophers, or anybody interested in understanding how brains work.
Hard to Break
The neuroscience of why bad habits are so hard to break—and how evidence-based strategies can help us change our behavior more effectively We all have habits we’d like to break, but for many of us it can be nearly impossible to do so. There is a good reason for this: the brain is a habit-building machine. In Hard to Break, leading neuroscientist Russell Poldrack provides an engaging and authoritative account of the science of how habits are built in the brain, why they are so hard to break, and how evidence-based strategies may help us change unwanted behaviors. Hard to Break offers a clear-eyed tour of what neuroscience tells us about habit change and debunks “easy fixes” that aren...
Your Stone Age Brain in the Screen Age
An award-winning neurologist on the Stone-Age roots of our screen addictions, and what to do about them. The human brain hasn’t changed much since the Stone Age, let alone in the mere thirty years of the Screen Age. That’s why, according to neurologist Richard Cytowic—who, Oliver Sacks observed, “changed the way we think of the human brain”—our brains are so poorly equipped to resist the incursions of Big Tech: They are programmed for the wildly different needs of a prehistoric world. In Your Stone Age Brain in the Screen Age, Cytowic explains exactly how this programming works—from the brain’s point of view. What he reveals in this book shows why we are easily addicted to sc...
Human Mind
Are you curious about how subconscious neurologic processes in your brain and body regulate your mood, energy, emotions and thinking capacity? Do you want to learn how you can consciously control them? Neuroscience is a fascinating but incredibly fragmented scientific field. The problem is that if you truly want to understand everything important that controls your mental and physical states, you have to study the work of dozens of experts. Then, you have to connect the fragmented pieces of their knowledge together for yourself. The book ‘Human Mind’ is written to provide a solution for that. This book is created to connect the loose threads of many different fields of neuroscience and s...
GABAB Receptor
An up-to-date comprehensive overview of the GABA B receptor system with a particular focus on the most recent therapeutic applications and potential. This receptor system has recently been implicated in several diseases and disorders including gastroesophageal reflux disease, epilepsy, mood disorders, depression, and alcohol and substance use disorder. The authors, leading researchers in the field, explore a number of approaches, including medicinal chemistry, molecular biology, physiology, and preclinical and clinical pharmacology. This overview provides a translational perspective on the potential of the GABA B receptor pharmacology.
Course Design Strategy
This book is packed with strategies and insights that will help you design better training courses. It focuses on how people learn as the key factor in making design decisions. The book shows you how to design a good course for any field, no matter what medium you use to deliver it. Learn how the brain works, how people forget, how to gain and maintain attention and how to make a subject interesting. Then use the easy-to-follow guidelines to design strategically by increasing curiosity, making content emotional, making learners practise what they have learned and using failure as a teaching tool. The art of designing a course and making people learn is mastered through practical experience o...
The 1% IMPROVEMENT Mindset

Ever fallen for the myth of 'Just Try Harder'? What about feeling like you get in your own way at times? It's not possible to find the simplest, best solutions via applying complexity as stressed thought patterns cannot access the creative mechanisms of the human mind. This is not to disrespect hard work. It's just best kept for when you really need it and not just your everyday, autopilot, default mode. The 1%% Improvement Mindset shows you how to simply shift your thinking about making true progress towards what you want... with incremental steps.
