Brain Story (2000)

EndedDocumentary show

Brain Story will examine how the brain controls every aspect of our being from movement to the emotions. It also explores "our ability to learn and adapt" though fossil records have shown that the human brain has not changed significantly for thousands of years. Scientists continue to struggle with questions such as is the mind separate from the brain or are all our experiences mere chemical reactions in the brain.
