| Summary: |
Anna has built a successful business from the ground up-and upon retirement, leaves the company to her employees, not to her son. What does that decision tell us about Anna's psychology, and about the development of the human brain over a lifetime? This program explores the emotional and neurological side of learning, explaining how the brain processes and stores experiences and prepares for future decision-making. Employing superb dramatizations, the film depicts Anna's journey from innocent teenager to philosophical retiree-and the changes that take place in her cortex, hippocampus, and neural synapses as she faces and overcomes challenges. In addition, several influential brain experiments from the past decade are described. |
