Making Your Mind: Molecules, Motion and Memory

Synopsis: Is there any more to mind than the brain? Does experience shape the way our brain develops? When we learn something new is our brain physically altered? In four 60-minute presentations, Dr. Thomas M. Jessell and Dr. Eric R. Kandel explain how the brain is organised, how it develops, how it controls behaviour, and how it stores memory.

This DVD set includes detailed chapter search by scientific topic; direct access to animations; English subtitles; interviews with the speakers; special features on synaptic function and animal locomotion; a discussion about neurobiology and mental illness; and a story on Alzheimer mice from NOVA scienceNOW
