Book Review

I finished the book Mind Wide Open by Steven Johnson. It was one of the better books that I've read in a long time. I didn't know what was happening in the field of neuroscience and even though the book was not technical, I became very excited. I was intrigued by the brain being bathed in drugs. I've wondered why different illegal drugs have different addiction profiles and having different brain chemistry would lead to different drug effects. I am excited to find the baseline functioning for my brain. There will be no alcohol and limited caffeine intake for the next few weeks.
