Release Date

Film Synopsis
The story of a woman whose paradigm-changing research helped launch modern neuroscience and redefined our understanding of the brain.
Enrichment, plasticity — capabilities of the brain we now take for granted — were the scientific battleground where Dr. Marian Diamond decisively challenged the old view and changed forever our paradigm for understanding the brain…and all our lives as well. What she revealed about the brain allows us to get the most out of our brain, not just as children but for our entire lives.
