520    "Even if you've never seen a zombie movie or television 
       show, you could identify an undead ghoul if you saw one. 
       With their endless wandering, lumbering gait, insatiable 
       hunger, antisocial behavior, and apparently memory-less 
       existence, zombies are the walking nightmares of our 
       deepest fears. What do these characteristic behaviors 
       reveal about the inner workings of the zombie mind? Could 
       we diagnose zombism as a neurological condition by 
       studying their behavior? In Do Zombies Dream of Undead 
       Sheep?, neuroscientists and zombie enthusiasts Timothy 
       Verstynen and Bradley Voytek apply their neuro-know-how to
       dissect the puzzle of what has happened to the zombie 
       brain to make the undead act differently than their human 
       prey. Combining tongue-in-cheek analysis with modern 
       neuroscientific principles, Verstynen and Voytek show how 
       zombism can be understood in terms of current knowledge 
       regarding how the brain works. In each chapter, the 
       authors draw on zombie popular culture and identify a 
       characteristic zombie behavior that can be explained using
       neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, and brain-behavior 
       relationships. Through this exploration they shed light on
       fundamental neuroscientific questions such as: How does 
       the brain function during sleeping and waking? What neural
       systems control movement? What is the nature of sensory 
       perception? Walking an ingenious line between seriousness 
       and satire, Do Zombies Dream of Undead Sheep? leverages 
       the popularity of zombie culture in order to give readers 
       a solid foundation in neuroscience."--|cProvided by
