eyes - nerves - brain - mind

Charlie Rose hosts a group of brain scientists who explain how our vision works (video). This is the second episode of the Brain Series; in the first one they gave an overview of the series, basic layout of the brain, and questions to be explored.

The picture below shows brain areas responsible for recognizing Places, Faces, Words/Letters, and Bodies. 

A basic diagram of the neuron. Axon can be several meters long, which means it requires a lot of energy to propagate impulses through the brain. That's why thinking and perception is so resource-hungry.

Justo, these are must see shows for our book ;)
