{"product_id":"circuit-breakers","title":"Circuit Breakers","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeuroscientist Dr. Anna Chambers takes us inside a state-of-the-art brain research laboratory, showing us how scientists unpack the biological secrets that make headlines and save lives\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn recent decades, neuroscience has revealed fascinating details about how the brain works in health and disease. But how do we know what we know?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eCircuit Breakers\u003c\/i\u003e, Harvard neuroscientist Dr. Anna Chambers pulls back the curtain to show us what happens in the modern brain research laboratory. Here, we learn how cutting-edge tools can manipulate memories, make neurons glow in the dark, and record signals at every level, from the whole brain to a single synapse.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePerfect for readers of David Eagleman’s \u003ci\u003eLivewired \u003c\/i\u003eand Robert Sapolsky’s \u003ci\u003eBehave, Circuit Breakers\u003c\/i\u003e weaves down-to-earth explanations of futuristic tools, like human brain implants and laser-controlled neurons, with candid interviews and stories from the author's own often-grueling journey as a researcher.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the rapidly expanding field of neuroscience, unprecedented discoveries may be all in a day’s work. Through stories of the ‘science around the science’—all the daily problems a scientist must solve, like accessing a living brain encased in a skull, or figuring out how to coax unusual creatures like cuttlefish and bats into behaving naturally in a lab—Chambers invites us into spaces where few of us ever venture. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThroughout, Chambers tells the little-known stories of these discoveries with equal parts humor and wonder. Through sharing this fascinating—and sometimes downright strange—profession with the wider world, \u003ci\u003eCircuit Breakers\u003c\/i\u003e is deeply committed to inspiring young neuroscientists, improving scientific literacy, and dispelling the many myths about the brain, the ultimate “black box.”\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"By Anna Chambers, PhD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44894803525814,"sku":"9781419773587","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0526\/0610\/7830\/files\/9781419773587.jpg?v=1770625382","url":"https:\/\/store.abramsbooks.com\/products\/circuit-breakers","provider":"Abrams Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
