Abstract

The non-fiction book "We are our brain. From Womb to Alzheimer's" by the Dutch neurobiologist Dick Swaab (born 1944) introduces the reader to such fields of scientific knowledge as anatomy and neurobiology, biochemistry and neurophysiology, genetics and psychiatry in an original form and with an undisguised sense of humour, starting with a rather lengthy narrative from prenatal development to the final human experience before entering eternity.
