Book Synopsis



Rafael Yuste, neurocientífico español, director del Centro de Neurotecnología de la Universidad de Columbia e ideador de la iniciativa BRAIN, nos presenta su primera obra de divulgación: El cerebro, el teatro del mundo.

Yuste nos invita a un viaje fascinante a través de la neurociencia moderna para descubrirnos uno de los mayores misterios de la ciencia: cómo ochenta mil millones de neuronas se organizan para crear la mente humana. Su teoría, «El Teatro del Mundo», concibe el cerebro como una máquina de predicción del futuro que utiliza las redes neuronales para generar un modelo del mundo como si fuese un prototipo de realidad virtual.

A través del relato de los principales descubrimientos de científicos como Santiago Ramón y Cajal, Rafael Lorente de Nó, Thomas Graham Brown, Ethel Browne, Rita Levi-Montalcini o Christiane Nüsslein-Volhard, Yuste nos desvela, con un estilo sencillo y entretenido, qué es el sistema nervioso, cómo surgió en la evolución y cómo el cerebro utiliza los sentidos para predecir el futuro y elegir una acción inteligente que nos permita actuar en el mundo.

Lleno de anécdotas personales, El cerebro, el teatro del mundo es un extraordinario recorrido por la historia reciente de la neurociencia que explica que filósofos como Kant o escritores como Calderón de la Barca o Proust se adelantaron a su tiempo y fueron capaces de concebir teorías que en la actualidad se están confirmando. Para Yuste, al comprender los misterios del cerebro nos situamos en los albores de un nuevo renacimiento, un nuevo humanismo que nos permitirá dar un paso histórico que ayude a las futuras generaciones a proyectar un mundo mejor.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Rafael Yuste, a Spanish neuroscientist, director of Columbia University's Neurotechnology Center, and founder of the BRAIN initiative, presents his first popular science book: El cerebro, el teatro del mundo.

Yuste takes us on a fascinating journey through modern neuroscience to unravel one of science's greatest mysteries--how eighty billion neurons come together to create the human mind. His theory, El teatro del mundo, conceives the brain as a future-predicting machine that uses neural networks to construct a model of the world, almost like a virtual reality prototype.

Through the stories of key scientific discoveries by researchers such as Santiago Ramón y Cajal, Rafael Lorente de Nó, Thomas Graham Brown, Ethel Browne, Rita Levi-Montalcini, and Christiane Nüsslein-Volhard, Yuste--using a clear and engaging style--reveals what the nervous system is, how it emerged through evolution, and how the brain uses the senses to anticipate the future and make intelligent decisions that guide our actions.

Packed with personal anecdotes, El cerebro, el teatro del mundo offers an extraordinary tour through the recent history of neuroscience, explaining how philosophers like Kant and writers such as Calderón de la Barca and Proust were ahead of their time--conceiving theories that are now being scientifically confirmed. For Yuste, understanding the mysteries of the brain places us at the dawn of a new renaissance--a new humanism that will help future generations shape a better world.
