Mysteries of the Brain: Thinking Brain

Mysteries of the Brain: Thinking Brain

Through neural connections, called synapses, the brain can process and store enormous amounts of information. Neuroscientist Gary Lynch at the University of California, Irvine, explains how this incredibly complex communication process allows animals to learn and remember. "Mysteries of the Brain" is produced by NBC Learn in partnership with the NSF. (Published 6/11/15)
