Summary

Bloomsbury presents Overloaded written and read by Ginny Smith.

A NEW SCIENTIST BOOK OF THE YEAR

From adrenaline to dopamine, our lives are shaped by the chemicals that control us. They are the hormones and neurotransmitters that our brains run on, and Overloaded looks at the roles they play in all aspects of our experiences, from how we make decisions, who we love, what we remember to basic survival drives such as hunger, fear and sleep.

Author Ginny Smith explores what these tiny molecules do: what roles do cortisol and adrenaline play in memory formation? How do hormones and neurotransmitters affect the trajectory of our romantic relationships? Ginny meets scientists at the cutting-edge of brain chemistry research who are uncovering unexpected connections between these crucial chemicals. An eye-opening route through the remarkable world of neuro-transmitters, Overloaded unveils the chemicals inside each of us that touch every facet of our lives.

Fascinating yet full of knowledge

Fantastically informative yet interesting book, beautifully read and really enjoyable.
Coming from a neuropsychology degree I found that this was detailed and thorough enough to expand my knowledge yet also explained/read in a way that sparked my interest and didn’t feel like lectures! A phenomenal job by Ginny and thank you for this, will definitely recommend.
