One error I would like to point out is actually a minor detail. In the sight portion, a picture of a group of military personnel are boarding a transport plane. The group was wrongly identified as Marines. There is a Canadian flag on the tail of the plane, the kit (duffle) bags being carried are Canadian style, and the blue berets are the internationally recognized headwear of the Canadian Peacekeeper - definitely not Marines!

You come away with solid advice on how to care for and improve your own brain, so that you can stay alert and learn through well-made PBS documentaries. - Nick Maceus Does a nice job of succinctly and clearly conveying the emerging neuroscience discoveries on the brain, and how malleable it is, even maintaining its neuroplasticity even as we age, contrary to dictum up to this point.
