This comedic journey through science history explores ten mind-bending accidents and experiments that take us inside the brain to discover how it works.
The human brain is famously complex and difficult to understand. The brain is also essential to how we function—so much so, that you can't simply poke a stick at it to see what happens. However, if you accidentally poked a stick through your brain, it turns out there’s a lot you can learn. . . .
Written by professor of neuroscience Caswell Barry, together with his good friend, the children's author Lucy Ann Unwin, Inside Your Brain takes young readers on an irreverent gallop through history to uncover ten groundbreaking discoveries that have led to our current understanding of how the brain works.
“Interesting, accessible to children and such fun to read. I genuinely enjoyed reading the book and suspect lots of children will too. ”

"A string of astonishing, sometimes stirringly gruesome revelations highlighting our evolving concept of what brains are and can do, from ancient Egypt on. Lighthearted and truly mind-bending."
