Time magazine has just re-issued a special edition of this publication, “Your Brain: A User’s Guide”. It will be on display at your local newstand until Jan. 13th. I picked up my copy at the local grocery store in rural Maine, so it should not be hard to find. What a fabulous collection of articles about the brain! Topics cover what we are just finding out about the brain’s functions, and what we have yet to discover! Historical perspectives on neuroscience research are included, and new scientific findings. There are articles on maturation of the brain, what is good about the aging brain, brain disorders, memory, additions and a great graphic article on the stages of sleep. This does not read like a textbook at all, simply a series of facinating articles. I highly recommend it! It’s the kind of information that you can pick up and enjoy absorbing over a coffee break, or a late night read before going to bed. This would also make a great resource for reading materials for students in neurodiagnostic training programs, especially if students are assigned to review articles. FYI: You can also order a hardcover version of this book through Amazon.com for $21.94.
I will be attending the American Epilepsy Society meeting in Baltimore, which begins on December 2nd. I look forward to this educational opportunity for me! As a provider of education in this field, it is essential that I obtain some continuing education myself, so that I will be able to organize programs that are on the cutting edge for ASET meeting attendees. I am sure to have some new materials for a blog entry when I return to my office, so I will share the AES meeting highlights in a couple of weeks.
