A window to the brain -- Losing consciousness -- Seeing the brain speak -- If language is left, what's right? -- The problems with paying attention -- The personality of the lowly neuron -- The what and where of memory -- How are memories made? -- What's up front -- When things go wrong with thought and mood -- Tuning up the brain by pruning -- Acquiring and reacquiring language -- Taking apart the visual image -- How the brain subdivides language -- Why can we read so well? -- Stringing things together in novel ways -- Deep in the temporal lobe, just across from the brain stem -- In search of the narrator.
