520    We use our brains at practically every moment of our lives,
       and yet few of us have the first idea how they work. Much 
       of what we think we know comes from folklore: that we only
       use 10 percent of our brain, or that drinking kills brain 
       cells. These and other myths are wrong, as shown by 
       neuroscientists who have spent decades studying this 
       complex organ. However, most of what they have learned is 
       not known to the world outside their laboratories. Here, 
       the authors dispel common myths about the brain and 
       provide a comprehensive, useful overview of how it really 
       works. You'll discover how to cope with jet lag, how your 
       brain affects your religion, and how men's and women's 
       brains differ. With accessible prose decorated by charts, 
       trivia, quizzes, and illustrations, this book is suitable 
       for quick reference or extended reading.--From publisher
