Summary

This book, the first in an energy trilogy, stems from the need to reconcile, in a single structured writing, the different relationships that energy has to society, politics, economics, the environment and technology by presenting a wide-ranging panorama both in the analysis of each individual energy source and in the examination of global and local players. Free of ideological bias, it is characterized as a picture of the current situation to understand the future evolution of energy and society and to confront the inherent theme of complexity.

    The study of the anatomy and operation of the nervous system and the brain is known as neuroscience. To map the brain mechanistically, neuroscientists draw on cellular and molecular biology, anatomy and physiology, human behavior and cognition, and other fields.Each neuron, or brain cell, in an adult human has an estimated 100 billion connections to other neurons. The mapping of all the cell-to-cell communication networks—the brain circuits that process all ideas, feelings, and behaviors—remains one of the major difficulties of contemporary neuroscience. The resulting image that gradually forms is referred described as "the connectome." All learning is based on the brain's capacity to build new neural circuits and connections, or neuroplasticity.
