How do humans respond to stimuli perceived by means of the senses? More concretely, what happens between a plate of food and the thought that the food is hot, or tasty, or reminiscent of some childhood event? This program looks at the neural and chemical processes that take place and the innumerable combinations of links possible between billions of living brain cells; it explains how a variety of responses take place and how and why multiple impressions are processed and ordered, and demonstrates the roles of consciousness and reflex. (28 minutes)
