The No-Brainer Brain Explainer Synopsis

Welcome to the Crab Museum's guide to the incredible living machine that is the brain!

Through unbelievable facts and hilarious jokes, The No-Brainer Brain Explainer explores the smallest, biggest, toughest, foldiest, brainiest brains in the animal kingdom.

Take a tour through the imagination of dung beetles, marvel at cockroach brains that are spread all throughout their body, and meet octopuses with their nine brains. Discover the brains behind massive insect colonies, flocking birds and intelligent fungal networks, and of course, the smartest brain of all, according to itself: yours! You'll also uncover:

  • What brains are made of and why they're important
  • Where to find your second brain
  • How brains help us time travel
  • The fruitfly brain, the most well-studied brain ever
  • The evolution of brains
  • What makes a brain 'intelligent'
  • The limits of brains, like confusion, phobias and mental wellbeing
  • Much, much more...

Accompanied throughout by quirky illustrations, this book asks BIG questions about consciousness, types of intelligence, language, co-operation and other brainy topics, perfect for any young scientist, animal lover or just plain brainiac.

Need your brain explained? This is a no-brainer!
