Product Description:
A visual exploration of how the brain develops throughout our lives.
Just as neurons communicate through mutual stimulation, brains strive to connect with one another. Louis Cozolino shows us how brains are highly social organisms. Balancing cogent explanation with instructive brain diagrams, he presents an atlas of sorts, illustrating how the architecture and development of brain systems from before birth through adulthood determine how we interact with others.

The Neuroscience of Human Relationships: Attachment and the Developing Social Brain is beautifully written by Cozolino. It explicitly yet simply shows how the brain is a social organ that's development is not only dependent on genetics but also on experiences from birth into adulthood. This book allows you to understand how your relationships through the years have influenced your brain and formed you into the person you are now socially as well as how you influence the brain development of others ...

Cozolino books is outstanding. Simple to read yet he provides empirical evidence into the development of psychopathology by juxtaposing "average" brains to those with pathology.
I enjoyed the research that he explained on trauma and stress and how it can shrink your hippocampus and create memory problems.

I am studying infant and child development, and appreciate and enjoy how two fields that normally don't speak the same language come together in this book. The author discusses how parts of the brain work, how hormones play a role, and how these biological substrates can help in understanding the attachment process. This is a useful addition to the typical descriptions of attachment at the "whole organism" level.

This book is a great read if you are interested in the social development of children or if you take interest in rudimentary neuroscience. You may want to be near a computer to look up more information on the many parts of the brain to which he makes abundant references. Cozolino has done his research, and it definately shows in the depth if insight he exhibits in this book. He is also a seasoned veteran of the psychology field, and this comes through in his personal stories, which lend to the book some ... Read More

I've read many books deserving of 4-5 stars over the past year, but none as complete and practical as this one. Author Louis Cozolino does a superb job of discussing the basic neuroanatomy and creating the analog of social synapses in which, by utilizing one another via empathetic circuitry and mirror neurons, we balance one another out biochemically in our relationships. Cozolino distills the information down to the level that is necessary for a novice to understand, while then toward the end of each chapter ... Read More
