The Brain

State-of-the-art CGI and living case studies illuminate the workings of the most complex machine in the universe in this astonishing special from HISTORY.

Despite the myriad advances in science and technology over the past century, scientists are just now beginning to grasp the inner workings of the human brain. This History Channel special takes viewers inside this most complex organ, and explores the advances researchers have made towards understanding how memories, decisions, and instincts take shape inside its confines. THE BRAIN offers actual case studies (including analysis of a soldier’s thought processes, and those of an autistic adult), as well as detailed digital imagery to illuminate the many mysteries of the mind.
