The Aging Brain on Charlie Rose
/Avaliable on Hulu: a special edition of Charlie Rose on the basis of memory and the effect of aging on brain function. Special guests include Dr. Brenda Milner, Dr. Larry Squire, Dr. John Hardy, Dr. Scott Small, and Dr. Eric Kandel.
All together, an amazing group of neuroscientists discussing a fascinating topic for the benefit of the general public. Neuroscientists may find the subjects familiar, but the experience of listening to luminaries in the field discussing their research is well worth the review. The language and subjects are certainly accessible for non-scientists (or non-neuroscientists), so tell your friends/family.
