THE SECRET LIFE OF THE BRAIN
a new five-part series debuting Tuesday, January 22 on PBS.Series Explores Revolutionary Discoveries in Neuroscience
In the past decade, science has deciphered more of the secrets of the human brain than in the previous 90 years combined.
Until very recently we understood more clearly the workings of distant galaxies in the universe than we did the relatively small organ that allows us to ask questions, smell flowers,and compose music.
THE SECRET LIFE OF THE BRAIN, a new five-part series debuting Tuesday, January 22 on PBS (check local listings),will explore the startling new map of the brain that has emerged from the past decade of neuroscience -- a view of our most complicated organ that contradicts much of what was previously believed and holds out hope for dramatic advances in the areas of addiction, depression, learning disorders, Alzheimer's Disease, and even schizophrenia. Narrated by actress Blair Brown, the series tells extraordinary stories through a mix of personal histories, expert commentary, and cutting-edge animation. Viewers will not only learn incredible new truths about the brain, they will voyage inside it.
