Product Description
Recently it has become possible to undertake what had previously been thought impossible charting the activities of the mind, such as memory and thought. Join Dr. David Suzuki as he investigates evidence that our minds thoughts, feelings, spirituality and creativity are merely complicated networks of biochemical reactions. Imagine the dramatic social implications this theory could have on the world today.
Evolution:
Even after birth, evolution continues in our brains. New experiences actually alter the brain's physical architecture when neurotransmitters message-carrying chemicals cross the synapses. Join scientists as they try to identify these chemicals and learn the effect their transfer has on our state of mind.
Perception:
Although we all start with the same basic neuronal architecture, our life experiences physically change our mental make-up and the way we perceive information from our senses. Explore each of the five senses following the pathway from the sensory neurons, through the thalamus, to the cortex and learn what happens when you get your sensory wires crossed. |
