本书展示了能够像 X 光揭示骨骼那样清晰地展现思维、记忆甚至情绪的最新扫描技术，如何能够用来解释我们行为的方方面面，以及行为上的怪癖如何追溯到个体大脑的异常。例如，诵读困难症可能是由将声音转换为视觉线索的信息传输短路所致；成瘾、进食障碍和酗酒源于大脑奖赏系统的功能紊乱；暴力犯罪分子在生命伊始可能就带有微小的神经缺陷。

……关于先天与后天之争我就不多说了，不过如果有人想多了解下关于意志和能动性（也就是俗称的“自由意志”）的最新研究，丽塔·卡特的《大脑的奥秘》（Mapping the Mind）是个很好的入门选择。不过要记住，这本书讲的是心理学最近的实验成果，所以该有的免责声明同样适用。
…the nurture vs. nature debate, except to mention for those interested in learning more about recent research into volition and agency (i.e. what is commonly referred to as "free will"), Rita Carter's Mapping the Mind is a good place to start. Remember though that this book covers recent experimental work in psychology, so the usual disclaimers apply.
比如 YouTube 上就有海量关于大脑解剖学之类的资源。另外，还有斯坦福大学罗伯特·萨波尔斯基的课程等等。此外，还有丽塔·卡特的入门书（首推《大脑的奥秘》）。手头的好资料一抓一大把。不过要注意的是，CS 属于“正向”工程，而脑科学则是逆向工程。所以，如果你找不到那种从零基础一步步构建的资料……
YT, for example, contains many resources on brain anatomy and more. Plus, for example, the lessons from Robert Sapolsky at Stanford. Plus, there exist the primer books from Rita Carter (first of all, Mapping the Mind). There are loads of good material around. Note though, that CS is "forward" engineering, while Brain Science is backward engineering. So, if you do not find material that build from the ground up...…
……作为补充很棒，因为在深入啃教材里的细节之前，这些书能提供一个很好的高层概述（从而激发动力）。我觉得有两本挺有用：大卫·林登的《盲眼心智》（The Accidental Mind）和丽塔·卡特的《大脑的奥秘》（Mapping the Mind）。如果你去搜搜 Google 和/或 Anna's Archive，就能搞到《非传统计算手册》（Handbook of Unconventional Computing）的 PDF ;-) 还有一本我希望能弄到手的是彼得·科吉的《奇异计算的禅道》（The Zen of Exotic Computing）……
…supplement since these give a nice top-level overview (and thus stimulate motivation) before diving into the details in a textbook. Two i have found useful are The Accidental Mind by David Linden and Mapping the Mind by Rita Carter. You can get pdfs of the Handbook of Unconventional Computing if you ask Google and/or Anna ;-) One more book that i hope to get my hands-on is Peter Kogge's *The Zen of Exotic Computing"…

I have a whole pile of similar pop-sci stuff to churn through already, but the more the merrier! > One more book that i hope to get my hands-on is Peter…
《大脑的奥秘》（Mapping the Mind）是一本很有趣的书。虽然它可能算不上一本神经科学入门教材，但里面有很多非常有趣且实用的信息。
Mapping the Mind is a fun book. It probably doesn't serve as an introduction to neuroscience, but it has a lot interesting, useful information.
