Good evening ladies and gentlemen, welcome to this week’s distinguished lecture, documentary & interview symposium. This week, for your delectation, we have Dr. Eric Kandel, winner of the 2000 Nobel Prize in Medicine for his research on the physiological basis of memory storage in neurons, and Dr. Thomas Jessell, who for the past two decades has worked to understand how nerve cells in the developing spinal cord assemble into functional circuits that control sensory perception and motor actions, presenting the four talks of the 2008 Holiday Lectures on Science series, from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, which was entitled: Making your Mind ~ Molecules, Motion, and Memory.
