But how do we know what we know?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eCircuit Breakers\u003c\/i\u003e, Harvard neuroscientist Dr. Anna Chambers pulls back the curtain to show us what happens in the modern brain research laboratory. Here, we learn how cutting-edge tools can manipulate memories, make neurons glow in the dark, and record signals at every level, from the whole brain to a single synapse.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePerfect for readers of David Eagleman's \u003ci\u003eLivewired \u003c\/i\u003eand Robert Sapolsky's \u003ci\u003eBehave, Circuit Breakers\u003c\/i\u003e weaves down-to-earth explanations of futuristic tools, like human brain implants and laser-controlled neurons, with candid interviews and stories from the author's own often-grueling journey as a researcher.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the rapidly expanding field of neuroscience, unprecedented discoveries may be all in a day's work. Through stories of the 'science around the science'--all the daily problems a scientist must solve, like accessing a living brain encased in a skull, or figuring out how to coax unusual creatures like cuttlefish and bats into behaving naturally in a lab--Chambers invites us into spaces where few of us ever venture. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThroughout, Chambers tells the little-known stories of these discoveries with equal parts humor and wonder. Through sharing this fascinating--and sometimes downright strange--profession with the wider world, \u003ci\u003eCircuit Breakers\u003c\/i\u003e is deeply committed to inspiring young neuroscientists, improving scientific literacy, and dispelling the many myths about the brain, the ultimate \"black box.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDr. Anna Chambers\u003c\/b\u003e is a neuroscientist who conducts research on memory, sleep and hearing.
