A Molecular Odyssey

A journey into the human body, an invitation to understand how the body expresses our emotions, the strategies it develops to maintain its balance or to defend itself against bacteria and viruses that threaten its integrity; that which allows us to see or be seen, to move, to eat, to digest. The book spotlights the molecules associated with pregnancy, wakefulness and sleep, memory and forgetting; the messengers of desire, pleasure, and addiction, as well as of stress and pain... A fascinating odyssey!
