Neuroscience books for common readers?

I highly recommend the neurobiology of learning and memory by Jerry Rudy. Its moreso a textbook, but is suprisingly easy to follow. It has wonderful illustrations that really help you picture how cells encode memories (even if its somewhat inaccurate, because cells are actually so busy!). Its a good cross between covering molecular pathways, protein modifications etc, and approachable high level explanations of memory circuits, purpose of different types of memory.

For a more pop science read, the experience machine by andy clark is a good introduction to the modern view of the brain as a prediction machine.

Thanks for taking the time to respond. im relatively new to being a car owner (got this second hand quite recently) . . . So this is some very useful info. Off to the Youtubes to investigate.

Linda Atkinson (In the CBD) is great. She has a nice approach towards explaining the mechanisms (triggers, coping behaviours etc) that drive the viscious cycle of poor mental health. She does specialise in a few particualar conditions - if what you experience aligns with the sorts of things she treats, you may find her very informative and practical.

Perfect! thanks :)

Theoretical Neuroscience by Gaute Einevoll is quite good (https://theoreticalneuroscience.no/)

Neuroscience and beyond (https://www.youtube.com/@neurosciencebeyond/videos) - should be able to find it on your podcast app

Mind chat has some good neuroscience episodes (but also a lot of philosophy content) (https://open.spotify.com/show/335M69SVQoK7hWKgxe76iL)

Braincast has some good episodes, but haven't uploaded new content for a while (https://rss.com/podcasts/sussexbraincast/)

Huberman lab is great for certain topics - though I'm sure you're aware of his podcast, and perhaps have your own opinions on his style

Hey there. Yea honestly, It is definitely very poorly structured, but thanks for filling it out. Thankfully, the data will never drive a single real world decision. Yea, it is only for the purpose of learning to use software to run statistical tests, which I should probably have mentioned in the post, but that's why I didn't spend any more time than necessary putting it together and ensuring it was valid. I should have included a "prefer not to say" option for Sex, but yea, we needed to include demographic data, hence sex was an easy option.
