This program begins by looking at the smallest unit of the brain, the nerve cell, explaining the relationship between these cells and such functions as seeing, hearing, and speaking. It shows how the cells are units that develop and change as they form connections with neighboring cells to produce the extraordinary system of impulses that permits human beings to function. The program also covers the evolutionary development of the brain and the brain in the developing fetus, showing how body functions, sense perceptions, and behavior are physiologically connected to the brain.
