Charlie Rose Brain Series
http://www.charlierose.com/view/collection/10702
The Charlie Rose Brain Series explores one of sciences final frontiers,
the study of the human brain. Over the next year Charlie will interview
the most knowledgeable scientists and researchers in hopes of illuminatin=
g
a new topic of study. Each monthly episode will examine different subject=
s
of the brain, including perception, social interaction, aging and creativ=
ity.
We will also look at scientific discovery and advances in technology, in
the hope that someday terrible illnesses such as depression, schizophreni=
a,
and Alzheimer=E2=80=99s will be history. Our special colleague on this j=
ourney is
Dr. Eric Kandel. He is a psychiatrist and neuroscientist and professor a=
t
Columbia University. He=E2=80=99s also affiliated with the Howard Hughes =
Medical
Institute. He received the Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine in 2000
for his research into the biological mechanisms of learning and memory.
