Series designed to introduce viewers to the study of the human body. Through the analogy of a student director of a music video, microphotography, graphics, animation, and simple experiments, this program examines the brain and the nervous system. Explains that the nervous system is made up of three key parts: the brain, spinal cord and nerves and that all are composed of special cells called neurons. Considers the parts of the brain and their involvement in controlling body parts and functions from breathing to thinking, to feeling, and to remembering. Also briefly notes the work of Canadian Dr. Wilder Penfield in mapping the memory of the human brain, and includes interviews with two neurologists who discuss how they work with the brain and nervous system. Other features include: Spanish and English language tracks ; discussion questions and activities ; an investigation data sheet ; chapter selection ; and closed-captioning.
