DRUGS AND THE BRAIN

Steeped heavily in the science of use and dependence, this series offers a clinical, objective look at the neurobiological effects of drugs. An international array of scientists describes modern advances in understanding, while laboratory and documentary footage dovetail with charming animations and detailed computer graphics to help get across some of the more involved concepts. The programs also give brief histories of the drugs, often delving into the cultural context of their consumption. Grades 10 and up. Color and black-and-white. Approximately 52 minutes each.
