Do you know what your brain is made of? How does memory function? What is a neuron and how does it work? For that matter what's a comic? And in the words of Lewis Carroll's famous caterpillar: "Who are "you"?""Neurocomic" is a journey through the human brain: a place of neuron forests, memory caves, and castles of deception. Along the way, you'll encounter Boschean beasts, giant squid, guitar-playing sea slugs, and the great pioneers of neuroscience. Hana Ro and Matteo Farinella provide an insight into the most complex thing in the universe.Produced in association with the Wellcome Trust, one of the world's largest medical charitiesA superb introduction to the complexities of the brain for the laymanHigh production values, FSC paper stock, and foil embossed coverHana Ro, PhD, is a neuroscientist from Oxford University, England.Matteo Farinella, PhD, is an illustrator specializing in graphic journalism and scientific illustration.

This cover is so ✨stunning✨ and I love learning through graphic nonfiction so I had to give this graphic introduction to neurology a try! Despite being a brief read, this is still a dense subject, and while I‘d have a stronger base to build on after reading, there were still some things that went over my head, if you‘ll pardon the pun. The depictions of women in the book really rubbed me the wrong way as well. A soft pick.

I couldn‘t get my poor brain to pay attention to Dreadnought today. Too much wine last night I guess. 😅🍷 I went for a graphic novel instead.

A great read for a “quick and dirty” explanation for how our brain works. Recommend strongly for anyone with an interest in neuroscience. It won‘t teach an expert anything new/groundbreaking but is amusing enough to be worth the twenty minute look through.
Now for more fluff for my hungover noggin...

MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm Oh! And this was my first read off my January #BookSpinBingo but I don‘t know where it will end up being on the card yet... 3y

This is a fun, cheeky and interesting graphic novel about the brain, written by two neuroscientists. It introduces the reader to some of the brains' basic functions and some of the scientists in history pivotal in furthering the understanding the brain. It's a fast read and I really like the recommended reading list at the end of the book.

RealLifeReading What a cover too 7y

Dr. Hana Ros is the co-author of this wild-looking graphic non-fiction about how the brain works. It was recommended by a friend. I'll have to request it from the library soon.

3⭐ This is a nonfiction graphic novel which describes the processes of the brain. It presents challenging information in a mostly easy to understand format. There is still some challenging material, but the pictures help explain it. Definitely check it out if you want a general overview of how the brain works.
