Synopsis
A NEW SCIENTIST BOOK OF THE YEAR
Our lives are ruled by one particular group of chemicals.
These are the hormones and neurotransmitters that regulate and drive our brains. Overloaded looks at the roles these chemicals play in all aspects of our life experiences, from how we make decisions, who we love and what we remember to basic survival drives such as hunger, fear and sleep.
Author Ginny Smith explores what these tiny molecules do, meeting scientists at the cutting-edge of brain chemistry research who are uncovering unexpected connections between these crucial chemicals.
What roles do cortisol and adrenaline play in memory formation? What does dopamine do? And how do hormones affect the trajectory of our romantic relationships? In this eye-opening exploration of the remarkable world of neurotransmitters, Overloaded unveils the chemicals inside each of us that touch every facet of our lives.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Many of the chemicals that allow our brains to function have become household names. These chemicals are the hormones and neurotransmitters that run our brain. They affect all aspects of our lives, from what we remember, how we make decisions and who we love to basic survival drives such as hunger, fear and sleep.In Overloaded, author Ginny Smith gets to the bottom of how these tiny molecules run our lives in ways we dont even realise. She answers questions such as:* Is dopamine to blame for compulsive behaviours?* What role do cortisol and adrenaline play in memory formation?* Do smart drugs exist? And should we be using them?* Is it our brain chemicals that cause us to be hangry?* How do hormones and neurotransmitters affect the trajectory of our romantic relationships?Beginning with background on the workings of the brain and nervous system, Overloaded delves into a range of key topics: mood, personality, motivation and addiction, memory and learning, hunger, sleep, decision-making, love, ageing, and health, with the narrative following Ginnys journey of discovery as she meets the scientists at the cutting-edge of research into the world of neurotransmitters.Overloaded looks at the roles that neurotransmitters and hormones play in each aspect of our lives, and highlights the science that is starting to uncover unexpected connections between these crucial chemicals. For example, scientists have understood the role that leptin plays in appetite for a while, but they are now also discovering that it has a key role in memory and learning. Ginny Smith uncovers the importance of these molecules, and how much we still have to learn about them.This mind-bending, eye-opening book provides readers with an enjoyable route through the remarkable world of neurotransmitters, the chemicals inside each of us that touch every aspect of our lives. Overloaded looks at the crucial roles hormones and other brain chemicals play in our lives, driving how we make decisions, who we love and what we remember as well as basic survival drives such as hunger, fear and sleep.
