Looking into the Mind – When the Brain goes Wrong
What happens when bits of our brain stop working normally?
The brain is is ultimately responsible for everything we do, yet it is the most complex but least understood organ in the body. This three-part series looks at the latest research into the brain: how it works, what happens when it goes wrong and the latest technologies that allow us to observe it directly in action.
In this first programme, Pamela Rutherford looks at what happens when parts of the brain stop working normally. She meets the man who paints all day long, the woman who can't recognise faces and she talks to the scientists who are studying them to reveal more about the workings of the brain.
