The Human Brain Coloring Book provides a means of learning about the structure and function of the human brain through a process of coloring-by-directions. It was developed by internationally recognized neuroscientists and teachers Marian C. Diamond and Arnold B. Scheibel in association with highly acclaimed teacher and anatomist Lawrence M. Elson, creator of Coloring Concepts. This coloring book is designed for a wide range of informal learners, students of psychology and the biological sciences, medical, dental, nursing, and other health professional students, and students and workers in the neurosciences. The unique, highly developed coloring process makes this book an effective learning device for such a diverse audience. The material included here represents the state-of-the-art knowledge about the brain and how it works. Each plate of illustrations has been carefully designed to yield maximum information when colored. The accompanying text has been creatively integrated with the coloring process to enhance understanding and retention.
Marian Diamond Bücher
Marian C. Diamond, Ph.D., war Professorin für Anatomie an der University of California in Berkeley. Ihre Forschung konzentrierte sich auf die Auswirkungen von Umwelt und Hormonen auf das Vorderhirn, insbesondere auf strukturelle Veränderungen der Hirnrinde, die durch eine angereicherte Umgebung und deren Lateralisierung durch Sexualsteroide induziert werden. Diamond's Arbeit beleuchtete die Plastizität des Gehirns und seine Reaktionsfähigkeit auf äußere Reize.

Cutting edge scientific research has shown that exposure to the right kind of environment during the first years of life actually affects the physical structure of a child's brain, vastly increasing the number of neuron branches—the "magic trees of the mind"—that help us to learn, think, and remember. At each stage of development, the brain's ability to gain new skills and process information is refined.As a leading researcher at the University of California at Berkeley, Marion Diamond has been a pioneer in this field of research. Now, Diamond and award-winning science writer Janet Hopson present a comprehensive enrichment program designed to help parents prepare their children for a lifetime of learning.
