Description
The human nerve center never rests-even during sleep, it works diligently to process and build on the information gathered by our senses. Of course, healthy sleep is only one of many vital ingredients the brain needs to develop and thrive, as this film illustrates in detail. Other factors discussed in the program include ongoing contact with negative (deterring) and positive (dopamine-triggering) stimuli, an environment that offers pattern repetition as well as deviation from repeating patterns as the brain emerges from infancy, and a sustained closeness between parent and child. Learning challenges such as dyslexia are also investigated, shedding further light on how our neural hub gains new skills, knowledge, and awareness.
