This is one of the best books on this subject I have ever read! How does consciousness arise from a collection of cells? The hard problem of consciousness will probably remain a question forever...
...but this book provides some interesting approaches🧐🧠

The Free Energy Principle - What is it? What it is not, how to use it and where the problems lie...all this is described in this excellent book by @kathrynnave.bsky.social ! Every biological system has one main task - to survive! But what is the best way?

This would turn much of what we thought we knew, up to now, on its head 🤯

The brain’s map of the body is surprisingly stable — even after a limb is lost
Study challenges the textbook idea that the brain region that processes body sensations reorganizes itself after limb amputation.

I think I'm a little late to the party but this book by @philipcball.bsky.social is simply put, brilliant! Evolution and biology are so much more than genes alone. It highlights the work of @drmichaellevin.bsky.social, @amartinezarias.bsky.social and many more! Well worth a read!

What. A. Book.
Simply put, this book by @charan-neuro.bsky.social is brilliant! The question should not be why we forget things, but why we remember! Memories are not just a mere relic of days gone by, they also influence our present and future! This book explains this in a fantastic way

Re-read this book! Despite all the research, it remains to be said that exercise is NOT a magic pill! Exercise makes no evolutionary sense, we need more physical activity - absolutely yes - but telling everyone they need to exercise is nonsense! Stay active & vary your movements!

There is no better way to end the book year than this! I have never read a book that has raised so many questions & left me speechless at the same time! „The Master Builder“ by @amartinezarias.bsky.social is truly a masterpiece!👏🧠🔬
