Sažetak
The title Mysteries of the Brain calls for reading per se and the reader expects that he/she will discover in it what is, first, implied by a mystery and what the mystery, which conceals answers to numerous meanings and interpretations of the brain, represents to the layman. Namely, the word brain in itself associates to the mind and intelligence, skills and abilities, and at the same time also to a warning how the brain is still unexplored and how even today there are many unknowns related to it. With the first title “Journey into the Micro Cosmos” Muzur introduces us to the methodological approach that he abides by all up to the final page of the book. It is made up of the medical approach, the latest scientific discoveries and results of research, physico-chemical explanation of what happens in the brain in a specific situation, the historical approach, religio-theologian explanation, philosophical interpretation, connection to art, psychological determination, poetic perception, foundation in moral sayings, analysis of a case that speaks about a person who has confronted with a certain difficulty for which the brain is responsible, media coverage, and cultural model within which a specific instance, in Muzur’s words, mystery of the brain, is defined and questioned.
