BEHAVIOR
This DVD gives viewers an exercise in
observing and interpreting the subtleties of
animal behavior. During an unbroken,
unnarrated sequence that captures the
interaction among gulls in a group,
viewers write down their descriptions of
the behavior patterns of the focal bird.
Then the sequence is replayed, explaining
what went on among the birds and
stressing the importance in all animal
studies of looking for the sometimes
barely discernible behavior patterns.

PAIN
Makes the point that for some people, pain
isn't just a symptom of disease but the
disease itself. Visits Europe's largest pain
clinics to talk with experts who treat
patients suffering from chronic pain. Much
about the neurological mechanisms
involved in the pain experience is revealed
in the techniques employed by these
scientists.

CALL
CALL
To show how life forms "hear the call," this
program uses as an example a meadow
filled with insects and other creatures
singing songs and uttering rhythmic
sounds, prompting the query; "With so
many different voices competing for
attention, how does an insect such as the
female bush cricket pick out the song sung
by a serenading male?" Scientists suggest
some of the neurophysiological reasons
for the cricket's amazing "ear."

TOURETTE'S
Explains that the diagnosis of Tourette's
syndrome is difficult because no two
sufferers of this rare neuropsychiatric
disorder demonstrate exactly the same
symptoms. Notes that imbalances in the
brain of chemical transmitters such as
dopamine are the likely cause, profiles
some of the individuals stricken by and
struggling with the illness, and examines
some of the methods used to treat it.

IN IN THE THE BRAIN
BRAIN
Illustrates how, in an embryonic nervous
system, neurons from the eye travel a path
that eventually connects them with the
brain. Tracks this function in the embryo of
a zebra fish, looking at the features of the
cellular landscape that guide these
neurons to their destination and posing the
question: Are there mechanisms of
guidance common to all vertebrates,
including humans?

BEHAVIOR
Studies a male three-spined stickleback
fish that builds a nest, attracts a female to
spawn there, and then fertilizes and
watches over the eggs that she leaves
behind. To explain these activities, this
program asks ethologist Niko Tinbergen's
famous "four questions": What causes the
behavior patterns? What function do they
serve? How did they evolve? How did they
develop in the individual?

DISORDER
Points out that for victims of seasonal
affective disorder, an illness that grips
them during the short days and long nights
of winter, only half-hour doses of bright
light during darkness can alleviate their
suffering. Turns to the world of biology to
gain insights into this strange illness,
investigating such things as circadian
rhythms and secretion of the hormone
melatonin.

PRIMATES
This DVD offers viewers methods for
observing and interpreting social behavior.
The first part shows clips of rhesus
monkeys behaving in a variety of social
encounters and asks viewers to analyze
the behavior using the methods of a
scientific observer. The second part
applies those methods to children's
rough-and-tumble play in an effort to
develop new insights into child
development.

BEHAVIOR: BEHAVIOR: BEHAVIOR: STRESS STRESS
STRESS
Portrays stress as a threatening intrusion
that causes blood pressure to rise, the
heart to beat faster, hormones to be
released, blood sugar to elevate,
metabolism to increase, and the body to
prepare for fight or flight. Notes that stress
cannot be fought or run from, and that
over time it will wear down the body.
Discusses the consequences of stress
and shows how the study of tree shrews
contributes to an understanding of it and
the ways in which the body reacts to it.
