After the success of Music And Your Brain (10 000 copies sold), finalist for the 2019 Prix Hubert-Reeves (Grand Public) and the Prix Opus, Michel Rochon is back with a new book that examines neuroscience and its everyday implications with fresh eyes.

What happens inside our heads when love drives us beyond reason and sense? Or when a sense of heightened animosity pushes a person towards terrorism and delirium? The answer is... pretty much the same thing!

Love and hate: current studies in neuroscience shed light on the true nature of these contradictory, yet all-too-human impulses. As surprising as it may seem, we now know that our brains are constantly reorganizing themselves—and have been for hundreds of thousands of years—to develop new behaviours that help us adapt to a changing environment. So whether we like it or not, love and hate are essential to our survival.

Michel Rochon is a science and medical journalist, lecturer, guest speaker and presenter. He has worked for several news teams at CBC/Radio-Canada.
