Think Faster Focus Beter Remember More Postit Science
Above is a 5 minture trailer from a new PBS feature about new breakthroughs in understanding the brain. I have posted about the PBS series on brain fitness and neuroscience which has been featured on PBS starting the two shows called The Brain Fitness Program.
This newest program in the series is called Brain Fitness Frontiers and it explores how ordinary people are utilizing their brain plasticity to create lasting and astonishing life changes.
The program spotlights areas where the latest discoveries from neuroscience have been applied to important areas such as aging and recovery from traumatic injury. It spotlights the key discovery which is neuroplasticity which means that the brain can adapt and change throughout the human, which until recently neuroscientiists thought was impossible.
As in the previous programs, Brain Fitness Frientiers is narrated by Peter Coyote. This new program takes you on a tour of research labs and features interviews with luminaries of neuroscience and medicine including Dr. Michael Merzenich (of Posit Science), Dr. Skip Rizzo, Dr. John Donoghue, and many more. Also featured are interviews on some of the people the new research has helped.
