Summary

Season 1 Episode 5 (pt.5/10)What's the science behind all this?Overview

In today’s episode we start to build an understanding of what is the science behind all this? We have a quick look at the history and the early interpretations of what our brains do. We get a better understanding of mirror and Von Economo neurons. How technology has aided in scanning the brain and identifying pathological patterns. We also look at the various ways our brain can be impacted through accidents, abuse and poor choices and finally what current options we have to recover through therapy. We also want to apologize in advance for mispronounced words and names. This is a science and scientists focus episode, so we are trying our best.
