Since we are sharing recommendations! “The Other Brain” by Fields explores the functions of glial cells in maintaining neural health, healing neurological damage, as well as a whole other layer of communication between brain regions and brain/body that is more like a broadcast than a linear signal in network.

Then there’s anything by Antonio Damasio, read all of his books! However “Self Comes to Mind” is the best description of the underlying mechanisms of human consciousness that I have ever read! It doesn’t quite solve “the hard problem” of consciousness, but I think that’s a non-existent problem to begin with and doesn’t need to be solved. 🤷‍♂️☺️
