This series explores what we know, and what still mystifies us, about the workings of the brain. The programs trace the development of our increasingly sophisticated knowledge about the functioning of the brain, provide a description of the brain from its most basic components, and explore how the brain and behavior can be modified by drugs. We see how the brain grows from a fertilized egg and how our brains change as we grow and grow old. Finally, the series explores what makes the brain give rise to a unique individual. These programs are part of the renowned British Royal Institution Lecture series and are hosted by Dr. Susan Greenfield, professor of synaptic pharmacology at Oxford University and a specialist in the cellular mechanisms and neurochemical phenomena underlying brain function. 5-part series, 58 minutes each.
