The mystery begins in the womb four weeks into gestation. 500,000 brain cells are forming every minute. Eventually there will be billions of cells and trillions of links, with every cell finding its place and every link carefully organized. How does this happen? Renowned filmmaker David Grubin draws on neuroscience's leading researchers and latest discoveries for answers.
This series explores the startling new map of the brain that has emerged from the past decade of neuroscience and shares a revelatory view of this most complicated organ. Narrated by actress Blair Brown, the series tells stories through a mix of personal histories, expert commentary and cutting-edge animation. Viewers will not only learn startling new truths about the brain, they will voyage inside it.
