This comedic journey through science history explores ten mind-bending accidents and experiments that take us inside the brain to discover how it works.

Written by professor of neuroscience Caswell Barry, together with his good friend, the children's author Lucy Ann Unwin, Inside Your Brain takes readers on an irreverent gallop through history to uncover ten groundbreaking discoveries that led to our current understanding of how the brain 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 someone accidentally pokes a stick through their own brain, there's a lot we can learn...

The ancient Egyptians discovered in battle that the brain was more important than they'd thought; Luigi Galvani sent electric shocks through dead frogs' legs and uncovered how brain cells work; Phineas Gage's unfortunate accident on the railroads revealed that you can survive a metal rod through the head because the brain operates using separate regions; while some unwitting kittens helped us understand how our brain develops.

This book also touches on our present and future potential to continue testing the brain, such as how we can learn an enormous amount about how the brain processes information from AI, without experimenting on a human subject. This entertaining and engaging deep dive into the most mind-boggling area of science is sure to fascinate and delight young readers.
