  • "Tape 1 takes viewers on a tour of the world's most prolific manufacturer and user of drugs, the human brain. The program explores developments in the biochemistry of addiction and addictive behavior."
  • "Combining in-depth studio discussion with exploratory films and on-the-spot reports, Dara O Briain's Science Club takes a single subject each week and examines it from unexpected angles. In the fifth episode, Dara traces the brain's journey from a useless organ once ditched by Egyptian embalmers to the center of everything that makes us human. Science journalist Alok Jha asks whether smart drugs really make you brainier; oceanographer Helen Czerski explores cutting edge therapies allowing the brain to control limbs remotely; and materials scientist Mark Miodownik takes apart a smart phone."@en
  • ""This program first draws us into the fantastic world of dreams-- a world as interesting to physiologists and physicians as it is to psychoanalysts. Then the nervous system is explained: how nerve impulses are transmitted and how chemical neurotransmitters make our brain work. In addition, two technologies are explained which are designed to delve even deeper into the depths of the brain and to help detect illnesses: nuclear magnetic resonance and electroencephalography"--Container."
  • "Disc 5 examines the biological evolution of our internal timekeepers, examining the conflict between the time in our bodies and brains and the time on our wrists. It looks at the fish with the most accurate pacemaker known to science; shows how cell cycles are being tracked and biological clocks transplanted; reveals the novel ways in which human biological clocks are being reset; and explains why Greenwich is where time starts, how conversations can be set to music, why some people are larks and others owls, and what causes the Monday morning blahs."
  • "Roger Bingham's fascinating and informative series on the human brain, examining research on how it works."
  • "Tape 4 looks at the various areas that brain researchers are now exploring, seeking answers to fascinating questions about the brain and memory at several internationally renowned memory research labs. The program also demonstrates prodigious feats of memory and the advice of a memory teacher."

  • "Using simple analogies, real-life case studies, and computer-generated images, this program shows how the brain works, explains the frequent battle between instinct and reason, and unravels the mysteries of memory and decision-making. It takes viewers inside the mind of a soldier under fire to see how decisions are made in extreme situations, examines how a person with autism develops remarkable skills, and takes on the age-old question of what makes one person good and another evil. Segments include Fear and Panic, Nerves and Stress, Sex on the Brain, Risk Response, Moral Decision, The Evil Mind, Memory Capacity, Amnesia, Sports Psychology, Extrasensory Perception, and The Next Leap."

  • "Disc 2 provides some of the answers that separate cultural and social from physiological distinctions between the sexes. The program shows some startling effects of hormone injections on brain structure and raises provocative questions about the sexual and reproductive roots of structural differences between males and females."
  • "Using combinations of computerized tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and advanced surgical techniques, the program shows why the brain is so important and explores what is known about how it works.

  • "Are the brain and the mind one and the same? How big a role does environment play in cognitive development? Does consciousness have a physical location? This program explores these and other fundamental questions concerning the evolution and function of the human brain. Computer graphics and commentary from an array of leading international neuroscientists provide insights into the human brain's development and the nature/nurture debate. The program also examines how the study of syndromes and mental illness has furthered the understanding of the brain, particularly the creation of various brain maps, including Penfield's Motor Homunculus."@en
  • "This program opens in the emergency room of a large hospital where head injuries are an all too common problem. The importance of the brain is evident from the skill and technology employed in ensuring that any damage to it is minimized. Using combinations of computerized tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and advanced surgical techniques, the program shows why the brain is so important and explores what is known about how it works."@en
  • "In this episode, Dr. Alice Roberts examines the body's most complex organ, the brain, and discovers how it can be trained to improve memory function. She meets a rugby fanatic and primary school teacher who has trouble remembering the names of his 27 pupils; he thinks this is caused by the concussions he has received playing his sport. Dr. Roberts invites him to her lab. They seek to learn more about the brain's remarkable powers of memory courtesy of Dominic O'Brien, eight times world memory champion. Dr. Roberts also discovers how sleep deprivation affects the brain and sets out to discover whether getting a good night's sleep can help people lose weight."@en

  • "Disc 6 explains research on the brain's processes: how individual parts of the brain work, how the brain uses pattern recognition rather than logic to interpret reality, which experiments with computer analogs have been successful and which have failed, and why. The program also provides interviews with some of the foremost researchers in the field."
