Memory: The Hidden Pathways That Make Us Human

Our brains prioritize facts and create memories based on emotional intensity. How the brain engages with the body to create emotions, how those emotions shape memory, and what happens when intense emotions are bound to false memories is the story we will tell in this show, with guests that have studied the linkages between emotion and memory in both mechanistic and clinical ways.
