Basics
Basics – we understand this in two ways: On the one hand, you will find here anatomy and physiology – communication in the brain – all the structures and processes on which perception, thinking, and action are based. This also includes the “other” brain cells, the glial cells, which have been criminally neglected for decades. And, of course, the networks, because they are currently the best model we have for understanding the organization of the brain. As an appendage to this spectrum, so to speak, we also describe the scientific methods, the toolbox of neuroscientists. Obviously, the better the methods, the more we can find out. Perhaps even more fundamental for us as individuals is the development of the brain: childhood as the basis – including an instruction manual for babies – for our entire lives.

See, hear, smell... we experience our sensations so everyday that they seem almost banal. But these windows into the world speak different languages - sound and touch are physical stimuli, smelling and tasting chemical, seeing lies between waves and particles - and all these languages must be translated into those of the nerves. And this is where the miracles from the engine room begin. Further up, on the more psychological levels, perceptions are deceived and there are interesting effects. Also interesting: Why can we perceive beauty? And then there's us - more precisely: our self. This is also a matter of perception.
