Þessi metsölubók kemur nú út í fimmtu útgáfu, uppfærð rækilega í takt við breyttar aðferðir við rannsóknir á hugsun og heila, og veitir heildstæðan og aðgengilegan leiðarvísi um hugræn taugavísindi. Jamie Ward kynnir á einfaldan hátt byggingu og starfsemi taugakerfisins, sem og allar helstu aðferðir greinarinnar, með það að markmiði að nemendur skilji hvernig nýta má þær til að varpa ljósi á taugafræðilegan grunn hugsunar.

Bókin veitir heildstætt yfirlit yfir nýjustu kenningar og niðurstöður í öllum lykilviðfangsefnum hugrænna taugavísinda, þar á meðal sjón, heyrn, athygli, minni, tal og mál, stýrifærni, félags- og tilfinningahegðun og þroskataugavísindi. Í gegnum bókina eru raundæmi, fréttaumfjöllun, dæmi úr daglegu lífi og kennslufræðilegir þættir sem hjálpa nemendum að ná utan um flóknari hugmyndir greinarinnar.

Í þessari útgáfu er aukin umfjöllun um vitund, sameinaður kafli um læsi og talnaskilning og meiri umfjöllun um heilanet og reiknilíkön. Bókin er skrifuð á lifandi máli af fremsta fræðimanni á sviðinu, prentuð í lit með fjölda skýringarmynda, og nýtist bæði sem kjarnabók í hugrænum taugavísindum og í námskeiðum um hugsun, hugræna taugasálfræði, líffræðilega sálfræði eða heila og hegðun.
