with computer analogs have been successful, which have failed,
and why. The program also provides interviews with some of the

brain centers, and what can happen when the left hemisphere is
damaged by disease. Tells the story of Michael Rehbein, who had
to have the left hemisphere of his brain removed to control
seizures caused by a rare brain disease. Dana Boatman at Johns

U.S. poet laureate Stanley Kunitz at age 95, still writing
poems and reading to a live audience. At the University of
Alabama at Birmingham, neuroscientist Edward Taub has developed
an innovative form of therapy that helps stroke patients
overcome years of paralysis by reviving the damaged circuits in
their brains. Scientists have discovered that elderly brains
continue producing new neurons. At Harvard Medical School,
neurologist Jeffrey Macklis is trying to find out whether it is
possible to use the new neurons to replace those killed by
disorders like Parkinson's Disease.

First in a five-part series that presents recent research on the
brain. This episode examines how the brain builds itself from
conception through the first year of life. Neurobiologists
study the intricate relationship between genes and the
environment, and a study is done to find out if the
difficulties premature babies have paying attention and
learning later in life can be overcome by providing an
environment that imitates the womb.
