I recommend this book for the insight it offers into how to view ourselves and the world from an integrated perspective. Through the development of the brain and current science across developmental biology, evolutionary biology, genetics, epigenetics, and neuroscience, it crosses academic boundaries.
I've always been interested in brain science, so I decided to read this book. The early chapters explain the embryology and development of the brain and nervous system. Some of it was a little tedious and difficult, but overall it was easy to read. In the middle and later chapters, the explanations of neuronal connections and their functions and structures begin, and they are very interesting. The final chapter, Chapter 9, discusses research and findings on neuronal and brain development in
William A. Harris: The Garden of Neurons
This book takes an absorbing journey through the entire process by which the human brain forms, down to the level of neurons. It offers a new perspective from an experimental neurobiologist with half a century of research behind them and carefully describes the dynamic relationship between the brain and neurons. Drawing on current science across developmental biology, evolutionary biology, genetics, epigenetics, and neuroscience, the author comes closer than anyone to answering the longstanding question: How does the brain form? We follow the lives of brain cells, from a single cell to 100 billion neurons finding their precise places and connections in the brain and functioning as my own supercomputer. Ultimately, this becomes the story of neurons that humanity must keep pursuing in its quest for knowledge about the brain.
