Cordelia Fine (born 1975) is an Australian academic
psychologist and writer. She is the author of two books on neuroscience,
several book chapters and numerous academic publications. She wrote the
introduction to The Britannica Guide to the Brain, is active as a journalist
and wrote the column "Modern Mind" for newspaper The Australian.
The human brain has been studied
for millennia, but in the past decades huge advances have occurred in neurology
that have allowed scientists to reassess what we really know about the least
understood part of the human body. We can now observe the activity of the brain
as it performs different functions. We can also use scanning technology to
chart the neural pathways and devise maps. The explorations have revealed
surprising results. The Britannica Guide to the Brain is a valuable resource of
the most up-to-date ideas of our times.
