Preface

We invite you to join us in exploring the mind and brain in the second edition of Fundamentals of Cognitive Neuroscience: A Beginner's Guide . What brain processes are at work as we watch a beautiful sunset, listen to a favorite song, or remember the face and name of a new friend? In this edition, we explore the internal universe of the human brain. We look at the structures and functions of the brain to investigate which brain structures are at work as we form our perceptions, make and retrieve memories, and develop our social selves.

Woven through these experiences are the conscious and unconscious threads of our mind as we learn, experience, explore, and make our way through our daily lives. Join us as we see how brain imaging techniques are revolutionizing the way we can see into the human brain to unlock the mysteries of how the human mind works.

Our second edition text takes a unique thematic approach, guiding students along a clear path to understand the latest findings whether or not they have a background in neuroscience. It includes case studies and everyday examples designed to help students understand the more challenging aspects of the material.

New chapters in this second edition include a chapter exploring the brain bases of sleep, dreaming, and levels of consciousness from full wakefulness to deep sleep to coma. The neural bases of sleep disorders such as insomnia, sleepwalking, and narcolepsy are provided along with scientific and practical ideas about human sleepwhere we spend a full third of our lives.

Another new chapter, Disorders of Consciousness, explores the mystery of what happens following brain damage that produces long-term unconsciousness and vegetative states. We provide a discussion of end-of-life decisions and how brain imaging techniques are providing new ways to investigate brain function in an otherwise nonresponsive individual.

A third new chapter, Feelings, explores the complex ballet of neuromodulators dancing through the brain, arousing us, helping us calm down, and enabling us to understand the emotional cues of those around us. We end the chapter with a discussion of mood disorders, ranging from depression to posttraumatic stress disorder to bipolar disorder.
