There's a new book out on the brain intended for popular consumption, with the catchy title _Welcome To Your Brain: Why You Lose Your Car Keys But Never Forget How To Drive And Other Puzzles Of Everyday Life_, by Sandra AAmodt and Sam Wang. It was favourably reviewed in _Nature Neuroscience_ (October 28/08 and available at http://www.welcometoyourbrain.com/).
In perusing their promotional material, I liked their "Six myths about the brain" (although I maintain my own scepticism about one, physical exercise for the brain): http://synapse.princeton.edu/~sam/Six_Myths_About_The_Brain.pdf Stephen ----------------------------------------------------------------- Stephen L.
