Charlie Rose Brain Series

[Retired]

If you have been following the Charlie Rose Brain Series on PBS over the last year, you may not know previous episodes can be viewed online.

The Charlie Rose Brain Series explores one of sciences final frontiers, the study of the human brain.

Over the past year Charlie will have interviewed the most knowledgeable scientists and researchers in hopes of illuminating a new topic of study. Each monthly episode will examine different subjects of the brain, including perception, social interaction, aging and creativity.

We will also look at scientific discovery and advances in technology, in the hope that someday terrible illnesses such as depression, schizophrenia, and Alzheimer’s will be history.

Our special colleague on this journey is Dr. Eric Kandel.

He is a psychiatrist and neuroscientist and professor at Columbia University. He’s also affiliated with the Howard Hughes Medical Institute.

He received the Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine in 2000 for his research into the biological mechanisms of learning and memory.
