>From the blurb: “<span style="mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman";color:#2E2E2E;background:white">We see the last cookie in the box and think, can I take that? We reach a hand out. In the 2.1 seconds that this impulse
travels through our brain, billions of neurons communicate with one another, sending blips of voltage through our sensory and motor regions. Neuroscientists call these blips “spikes.” Spikes enable us to do everything: talk, eat, run, see, plan, and decide.
In <i><span style="border:none windowtext 1.0pt;mso-border-alt:none windowtext 0cm;padding:0cm">The Spike</span></i>, Mark Humphries takes readers on the epic journey of a spike through a single, brief reaction. In vivid language, Humphries tells the story
of what happens in our brain, what we know about spikes, and what we still have left to understand about them.</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"">”<o:p> </o:p></span></p>
