Summary

Bloomsbury presents Overloaded by Ginny Smith, read by Ginny Smith.

From adrenaline to dopamine, most of us are familiar with the chemicals that control us. They are the hormones and neurotransmitters that our brains run on, and Overloaded looks at the role they play in every aspect of our lives, from what we remember, how we make decisions and who we love to basic survival drives such as hunger, fear and sleep.

Author Ginny Smith gets to the bottom of exactly what these tiny molecules do. What role do cortisol and adrenaline play in memory formation? How do hormones and neurotransmitters affect the trajectory of our romantic relationships? Ginny meets scientists at the cutting-edge of research into the world of brain chemistry, who are uncovering the unexpected connections between these crucial chemicals.

This mind-bending, eye-opening book provides listeners with an enjoyable route through the remarkable world of neurotransmitters, the chemicals inside each of us that touch every aspect of our lives.

Fascinating yet full of knowledge

Fantastically informative yet interesting book, beautifully read and really enjoyable.
Coming from a neuropsychology degree I found that this was detailed and thorough enough to expand my knowledge yet also explained/read in a way that sparked my interest and didn’t feel like lectures! A phenomenal job by Ginny and thank you for this, will definitely recommend.
