BBC Secrets of the Brain

Editor's Take

Jim Al-Khalili's two-hour study of the brain treats the most complex object in the known universe with the seriousness it deserves, tracing how three pounds of tissue produce thought, memory and self. A substantial watch for anyone who finds neuroscience more astonishing than space.

In Secrets of the Brain, physicist Jim Al-Khalili tells the epic story of how the human brain evolved into the most complex object in the known universe. The film traces the long history of catastrophes, conflicts, and instincts that shaped our minds over millions of years. Presented in 4K, it blends neuroscience and evolution into a sweeping account of who we are. It is a fascinating exploration of the organ that makes us human. Free to stream in 4K on Dr Documentary.
