It isn't much to look at, but it is what allows us to experience the world, communicate, build civilisations, create great art and fly to the moon. It is, of course, the human brain.

A collection of some of the best, recentNew Scientist articles on the subject, The Human Brain is available to buy as a high quality print title or to read digitally. Find out where to buy
