Science of Babies
Description
Using sophisticated CGI and fMRI imaging techniques, this program explores the amazing biomechanical benchmarks in the first 12 months of a human life. Viewers witness the drama and spectacle of birth, watch the infant's lungs kick in, observe the swiftly beating and rapidly growing heart, study the expanding skeleton, and examine the muscles that mature with every little kick toward the ability to crawl. Cell division, the building of neural synapses, and the sharpening of vision are also shown. Day by day, month by month, the human baby develops senses and adds skills, all the while intent on another elemental achievement-the first step.
