Secret Life of the Brain Series |
This series
explores the startling new map of the
brain that has emerged from the past
decade of neuroscience, contracting much
of what we previously believed. Narrated
by actress Blain Brown, the series tells
stories through a mix of personal
histories, expert commentary and
cutting-edge animation. Viewers not only
learn startling new truths about the
brain, they will voyage inside it.
The Baby’s Brain
Less than a month after conception,
brain cells are developing at the
astonishing rate of 500,000 per minute.
The brain will ultimately comprise
billions of cells linked by trillions of
connections, the most complex thing in
the universe. How does it organize
itself? What are the roles of genetics
and environment in brain development?
The first hour traces the formation of
the infant brain through the age of one,
the period during which it is most open
to molding through external influence
and experience.
Time:
(60:00)
The Child’s Brain
The explosion of language in young
children provides one of the most
dramatic illustrations of the young
brain at work. How do we learn to talk?
How do we learn to read? Unlike adults,
in whose brains most linguistic activity
is restricted to the left hemisphere,
very young children respond to language
with the entire brain. But what happens
when the brain is physically
compromised? And what are the physical
roots of language disorders such as
dyslexia?
Time:
(60:00)
The Teenage Brain
This episode offers potential comfort to
parents who believe teenagers are
different from the rest of humanity by
demonstrating that it's literally true.
During puberty the brain is a work in
progress, teeming with hormones, while
the areas that direct reasoning and
impulse control are still in
development. Adolescence is also a
period during which people are
especially susceptible to schizophrenia
and addiction, two areas currently under
intensive study and benefiting from
increased understanding of brain
function.
Time:
(60:00)
The Adult Brain
For years, science has suggested that we
lose vast numbers of brain cells as we
grow older; now it turns out that this
is not true -- in fact, healthy brains
continue to produce new neurons well
into the 70s. Drawing on the most recent
neuroscience discoveries, this episode
presents a new view of how the brain
ages, focusing in part on the remarkable
strides being made in understanding
stroke, Alzheimer's Disease and
Parkinson's Disease.
Time:
(60:00)
The Aging Brain
The brain is the seat of both intellect
and emotion, and this episode chronicles
the critical balance between these
processes and explores what happens when
the balance is lost. Scientists draw
insight from the stories of a stroke
victim and a sufferer of post-traumatic
stress disorder, and break new ground in
the struggle to understand and treat
depression.
