Mysteries of the Mind
Description
Although it's smaller than some varieties of grapefruit, the human brain remains a vast, unexplored territory-and a marvel of design and function. This classic program evokes lingering questions about the brain's structure, how it works, the roles that experience and genetic history play in its development, the biology behind emotion and memory, and what happens when things go wrong inside the brain. Can physiology identify the mind of a killer, of a saint? What distinguishes a genius from a cretin, brain-wise? And perhaps the most fascinating question of all: Is there any way to steer brain development away from its natural course?
