Un regalo de los dioses : Neurociencia de la lectura

We are readers because we are human. But above all, we are human because we are readers. Reading has reshaped societies, cultures, and even our own biology, as it modifies the brain, creating new pathways of communication between the senses and perception. This book brings together science and the humanities in a dialogue about reading and its impact on the mind and human development. Together, neuroscientist Nazareth Castellanos and philologist Antonio Basanta review the process of learning to read, its benefits at different ages, and its influence on mental health and the development of attention.
