The Playful Brain
Venturing to the Limits of Neuroscience
Sergio M. Pellis and Vivien C. Pellis
A groundbreaking study of the formative role of play
Despite hundreds of years of research the phenomenon of play
and the role it takes in our lives remains a mystery. Over time,
biologists, psychologists, and anthropologists have offered
opinions, but no answers. That changes now, with the first
major investigation into this universal yet mysterious activity.
Taking the humble rat as their model, and building in references
to a range of species, the authors synthesize three decades of
empirical research, creating a pioneering study that leads to
some remarkable conclusions.
