Fourth of seven films about the sources of human abilities.
' The only sound parts of me now are my ear-lobes-they're still firm and muscular', says the comedian Terry-Thomas, describing the effects of his disorder of movement. His symptoms are caused by the shortage of a tiny amount of one chemical in his brain.
Dancer Anthony Van Laast and gymnast Jackie Bevan cope with the difficult and exhausting needs of their craft, and their subjective impressions tally with recent discoveries about the way the brain organises movement.
A new-born baby, a monkey who plays video games, and a computer with its own handwriting help to explain theories about the representation of movement in the brain; and a successful brain graft points the way to a possible treatment for brain disorders in the future.
