The Brain in Season
Posted by Richard Stables on November 18, 2011 at 11:39 AM
BBC Radio 4 are currently running a whole season of programmes about the Brain. It covers 5000 years of understanding (and misunderstanding) of what the brain is and what it does from the ancient Egyptians to recent advances in neuroscience. It takes in the myths and fallacies about the brain and what that tells us about the culture of the times.
Find out more about the series at http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/radio4/2011/11/radio_4s_brain_season.html
Many of the programmes in the series will be available as podcasts which you can download from the BBC website ( at this link)
