Il cervello è l’organo in grado di invecchiare meno di tutti gli altri. Meno del fegato, della pelle o del cuore. Prendercene cura è la nostra unica opportunità di estendere la giovinezza, di assaporare a lungo la vita e di salvaguardare allo stesso tempo la salute del corpo. Come racconta in questo libro Michela Matteoli, tra i neuroscienziati italiani più riconosciuti a livello internazionale, il cervello ha un punto di forza: la plasticità, cioè la proprietà di modificare se stesso e di autoripararsi.

Сто тысяч лет назад Homo sapiens был одним из как минимум шести видов человека, живших на этой планете, — ничем не примечательным животным, которое играло в экосистеме роль не большую, чем гориллы, светлячки или медузы. Но около семидесяти тысяч лет назад загадочное изменение когнитивных способностей Homo sapiens превратило его в хозяина планеты и кошмар экосистемы. Как человек разумный сумел покорить мир?

What is our immune system, and how does it work? A vast array of cells, proteins and chemicals spring into action whenever our bodies are damaged, but immunity is not something you can see, touch, or feel. It can fight off malicious bacteria and viruses, locate cancerous growths, and even rewire our brains—but sometimes our own tissues can get caught in its crossfire, with catastrophic consequences. Humans may be the most disease-ridden animals on the planet. Professor John Trowsdale shows how the immune system protects us, and how our bodies invest huge resources to keep it running.
