The Mind’s I

Take two brains and place them side by side, and there is no obvious immediate difference; yet the two brains come from two individuals with entirely different character traits, memories, and skills. So, where is the physical basis of this difference? This program examines what makes a brain give rise to a unique individual. Through the examples of memory and language, we see that although the brain can be divided into regions, these regions are not independent mini-brains but vast banks of neuronal circuits that work together as a cohesive whole. Although we know a great deal about how different brain regions function, understanding how these regions work together to generate a cohesive individual consciousness remains a tantalizing puzzle. (58 minutes)
