    Editorial Reviews

    This program is part of a series from the popular PBS science show NOVA. This episode looks at brain function and the mind. Scientists discuss the findings of their latest research on the mysterious connection between the brain and the mind. They cover controversial subjects, such as racial and gender differences of the mind, and the part played by collective memory. Films and photographs illustrate this look at the secrets of the mind. ~ Rose of Sharon Winter, All Movie Guide All Movie Guide

    February 16, 2009: Dr. Ramachandran is an established neuroscientist and he explains with great authority how brain damage or the loss of a limb alters brain functioning in surprising ways. I love that the film is problem-oriented instead of show-buzz oriented. He explains the issues very clearly that is graspable even for people without scientific background still holds a wealth of information for those who have "ears to hear". I was especially fascinated by his explanation of the young man who became deeply spiritual after damage to certain parts of his brain - I think this phenomenon has far-reaching implications. It is very delighting and refreshing. A must for high school and college biology/psychology classes.
