The Intelligent Body~How the Body Senses, Learns and Helps Us Make Decisions~Course-ResearchSeries: 'In Twelve Evenings' Book 14Vita HarwoodTest your knowledge!The body is always measuring, comparing and regulating. It maintains temperature, blood pressure and energy balance, detects changes within itself, learns from repeated experience and prepares action before a conscious decision appears.The Intelligent Body explains interoception, proprioception, emotion, fear, intuition, protective responses and biological clocks. It gives particular attention to recovery and to errors in regulation, when a useful system continues for too long or responds too strongly.The book contains twelve lessons, practical observations, 120 test questions with explained answers, a glossary and a source list.
