Thinking Brain - Mysteries of the Brain

The video explores the brain's role in survival and learning, focusing on neurons and synapses. It explains how neurons process information and communicate through synapses, with repeated signals strengthening synaptic connections. This process underlies memory formation and learning. Dr. Gary Lynch's research on neural plasticity shows how synapses change shape and strength, contributing to our understanding of learning and memory.
