The brain is the most mysterious organ of the human body—an entanglement of cells that yields consciousness and spirit. One of the brain’s most important functions is memory, and this program shows how researchers attempt to discover how brain cells "remember." The program also examines the complex psychological mechanisms underlying such emotions as laughing and sadness and the phenomena that enable us to express them. Finally, we describe two complex psychological processes: the recognition of expressions and intelligence. (23 minutes)
